Webinar

Simplifying Decision Making in Hard and Soft Tissue Grafting (for both teeth and implants)

Speaker: Dr. Neel Bhatavadekar

July 21, 2024

ACDE Webinar Series

ACDE (Association for Continuing Dental Education)

The Association for Continuing Dental Education (ACDE), along with 37 of its member schools, is jointly providing a series of live webinars. This series features university-based key opinion leaders presenting numerous topics on multiple dates and times. Presentations are available to meet every dental professional’s schedule and interests.

Course Description

Clinicians are often faced with challenging situations where hard or soft tissue deficiencies exist (either around teeth or around implants). They may be uncertain of the appropriate treatment sequence to follow, or the appropriate grafts to use, or the correct restorative/surgical approach, to ensure long term success.

This lecture discusses how the above decisions can be simplified, and guides the clinicians with easy clinically relevant take-home points, which are evidence based. We discuss the evidence based SRA (Sequential Ridge Augmentation) protocol, and the RSC (Restorative Surgical or Combination) protocol , and how it applies to daily clinical decision making. Lastly, the case-specific graft materials (autogenous or otherwise) to be used, will also be elaborated upon. This lecture is appropriate for both new graduates, as well as clinicians with a few years of practice experience.

  • At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:

    1. Make evidence-based decisions using the SRA and RSC protocol
    2. Utilize established diagnostic criteria to segregate simple/complex cases
    3. Clinically apply and decide the appropriate use of soft and hard tissue grafts
    4. Decide the sequence of which correction should come first- hard tissue or soft tissue
