Course Description
The alveolar ridge requires a fair amount of bone volume for successful restoration over implants. Whether pre-operative or at second stage surgery, several surgical options have been suggested to restore the alveolar ridge volume. Priority should be given to simpler and less invasive procedures, involving less risk of complications and achievement of goals in a shorter period.
Educational Objectives
- Knowledge of treating buccal bone loss
