5 Top Secrets in Ridge Augmentation for Dental Implants
Dental implant surgery is very predictable treatment. However, it is very common to encounter severely resorbed ridges, which makes dental implant treatment difficult. In this presentation, Dr. Lee will present several innovative options to overcome pneumatized sinus, thin ridges, and loss of vertical bone heights. Diagnosis and guidelines for these treatments will be reviewed.
Learning Objectives:
1. Diagnosis and treatment planning for implant treatment will be discussed.
2. A new sinus classification which simplifies the treatment of pneumatized sinus will be discussed.
3. Simplified GBR technique will be discussed.
