Socket preservation Socket preservation techniques depend on both the severity of the graft site and the host response. If there is no bone destruction a membrane alone will often be suffice. If there is any bone destruction then FDBA and membrane use is recommended. Post surgical care requires CHX rinse twice daily for 2 weeks […]

Horizontal Ridge Expansion (ridge split) Horizontal ridge expansion is done with 3-5mm. 4mm min for Class 1-2 3mm min for Class 2-3 Flex case has little cortical and nice cancellous bone. How prevent rebound = wood screw not lag screw. BTI Ultrasonic General rules Ab 1 hour prior and 1 week CHX before and 1 […]
Sinus lift Sinus lift information including research and step but step protocols. ADA dental codes for sinus lifts Code 7951 lateral 7952 vertical What graft materials can you use in the sinus lift? You can place almost anything into the sinus because it has excellent bone regeneration ability. Things as simple as collagen sponges have […]
GBR = Guided Bone Regeneration Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is a bone grafting technique that uses a barrier to create space for the patient’s native bone to form. Guide bone regeneration can use resorbable collagen membranes, titanium reinforced ePTFE, tiyanium mesh, and/or tenting screws. Guided Bone Regeneration ADA dental code The GBR dental code is […]
Jaw bone loss if you do not get dental implants Jaw bone loss is something that is very apparent to health car professionals. Even you likely recognize the impact but did not know it was bone loss. Have you ever seen an older woman or man with a short face and lower jaw sticking out? […]
Grafting nasopalatine canal for dental implant placement Grafting nasopalatine canal can be done at the time of dental implant placement or prior to placement. The decision on when to bone graft the area depends on the severity of the bone loss and the size of the nasopalatine canal. When to graft the nasopalatine canal Grafting […]
Bone grafting research Major review article – Darby Cochrane review found basically the same No technique is superior in socket preservation post ext (ie type graft, type membrane) AB use inconclusive Mebrane helps in amount bone formed Primary closure when using membrane is required for optimal results Primary closure not always needed Ridge expansion better […]

Synthetic bone graft materials Biphasic calcium phospahte bioceramics like HA (slow) and TCP (fast). Nanobone by Artoss – nanocrystalline HA embedded in silica gel matrix IngeniOs HA by Zimmer – Synthetic Hydroxyapatite Bone Ceramic by Straumann – biphasic calcium phosphates “not simply a mixture of HA and TCP, but is chemically synthesized as a composite […]
Garg Bone Binder by Clinical Pharmacy – carboxymethyl cellulose and glycerin Fusion – carboxymethyl cellulose, glycerin, and gentamicin calcium sulfate, alphacarboxymethylcellulose and gentamycin–Fusion bone binder – why different, maybe change or not right??
