The Role of the modern dentist in treating Edentulous sites

The rehabilitation of edentulous sites represents a cornerstone of contemporary dental practice necessitating the evolving role of the modern dentist in the diagnosis, planning, and management of edentulous conditions.

 The session will explore key principles of prosthetically driven implant planning, preservation of alveolar bone and soft tissue architecture, and the application of guided bone regeneration techniques to manage sites with inadequate bone. Emphasis is placed on regenerative procedures of bone expansion and osseo-densification as a novel, non - subtractive implant site preparation technique for increasing bone density and primary stability.  In addition, the webinar will address critical aspects of Surgical Asepsis, Maxillary Sinus Grafts, Segmental osteotomies, Onlay Grafts and Nerve Lateralisation.

    Case presentations illustrate a comprehensive approach highlighting the diagnostic considerations, treatment planning rationale, stepwise clinical execution and long-term maintenance protocols. Participants will gain insight into contemporary treatment modalities like implant-supported fixed prostheses, overdentures, and full-arch rehabilitation strategies.

 Designed exclusively for clinicians seeking to refine their knowledge and clinical decision-making, this webinar underscores interdisciplinary collaboration and patient-centred care in the successful management of edentulous sites.
