To be a viable treatment choice in the edentulous patient, the implant-supported restoration requires bone in adequate position, quality and quantity. This requires 3D development of the edentulous ridge or potential implant restorative site. The importance in developing this underlying bone support is twofold, to act as an anchor for the implant but also as a framework for the support of the gingival tissue and esthetics. The three-dimensional reconstruction of the implant receptor site comprises two distinct phases: Development of the hard tissues requires an understanding and specific skill sets which include; Extraction Site Management Autogenous or Allograft Onlay Bone Blocks Allograft Bone Particulate Grafts and GBR Utilization and Fixation of Collagen Membranes This program will cover Vertical Augmentation Techniques and the role of the Zimmer CurV.
