Bone and Soft Tissue Augmentation in Implantology

An extensive overview of bone and soft tissue augmentation in implantology, focusing heavily on autogenous bone grafting techniques and the underlying biology. The sources cover topics ranging from the cellular biology of bone remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts to detailed surgical procedures for harvesting bone blocks from intraoral and extraoral donor sites, particularly the mandible. Significant attention is given to preoperative diagnosis and planning, including radiological assessment, as well as the management of soft tissue before and during augmentation procedures to ensure long-term stability and esthetics. Finally, the text explores risk factors and potential complications, discussing systemic conditions like diabetes and bisphosphonate therapy, local issues such as soft tissue quality, and technical challenges like graft exposure and nerve injury.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/dentistry_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
