Summary:
The repair of osseous defects has been a goal in dentistry for many decades. Subsequently, within the last several years, there has been an emergence of a new class of materials in dentistry referred to as synthetic bone. Finding the ideal bone substitute material has been the goal of researchers for many years. In attempting to achieve this ideal material, dental practitioners have tried with varying degrees of success: autogenous and demineralized freeze-dried bone, allografts of plastic, carbon and the apatite compounds. Most importantly, the practitioner shouId be cognizant that presently, autografts stiII represent the gold standard and provide excellent osteoconductive scaffolding, although they do require a harvesting procedure. The ideal goal of bone regenerative therapy is the reconstruction of alveolar bone that has been lost due to disease or atrophy. Bone grafting is one of the therapeutic modalities employed to fulfill this goal. The objectives of this additive procedure are the restoration of lost alveolar bone and possibly the regeneration of a functional periodontal attachment apparatus around teeth and bone around dental implants. This article discusses bone grafting materials and introduces a new bone substitute material which can be effective in both the regeneration of previously lost bone and the preservation of existing bone after extraction of diseased teeth.

Reconstruction of a Single-Tooth Traumatic Defect in the Anterior Maxilla Using the Khoury Bone Plate Graft
Trauma to teeth and the dentoalveolar process may result in a ridge defect that precludes straightforward implant
therapy of the patient. Typically bone and soft tissue augmentation of the area would first be needed to adequately
prepare the tissues for the implant and its restoration..Grafting of the site is substantially more difficult in cases where
the ridge also lacks adequate height, and techniques to recreate a bony envelope to apply guided bone regeneration
may be required. Moreover, defects in the anterior aesthetic zone that require both bone and soft tissue grafting and
a restoration that harmonizes the adjacent pink and white aesthetics may be an even more significant challenge to
the restorative team. Hereafter a case of trauma to an anterior maxillary tooth that saw destruction of the ridge is
presented, with the defect reconstructed to accommodate a functional and aesthetically pleasing implant supported
restoration.

Bone Augmentation & Vascular Enhancement Concepts: It’s Time to Make it Simple!
The purpose of this presentation is to make the participant think biology first and not mechanic first. A biological thinking will dramatically simplify vertical and/or horizontal bone augmentation procedures. We will also be introducing a new approach for the simplification of soft tissue handling: the Soft Brushing Technique, that will allow the coronal advancement of both buccal and lingual flaps, but also the palatal flap without the need for periosteal releasing incisions.

Current Concepts in Bioactivity and Regeneration
In this lecture, tips on how to deal with the different types of extraction socket, mostly infected, will be presented. The use of plasma rich in growth factors and the Endoret® (PRGF®) fibrin membrane is a key factor to enhance socket regeneration, post-operative recovery and minimize/treat complications.
