Benefits and indications for crosslinked xenografts in bone ridge augmentation and ridge preservation procedures (Online on demand)

This webinar, hosted on the Dentsply Sirona Campus platform, explores the clinical applications and scientific principles of crosslinked xenografts in bone regeneration and ridge preservation. The session addresses a fundamental challenge in implant dentistry: achieving sufficient bone volume and quality for successful long-term implant function. Xenografts, which undergo ossification during the integration phase, represent a key biomaterial solution for managing ridge deficiencies that arise either immediately following tooth extraction or in cases of chronic atrophic edentulism.

The webinar covers staged implant protocols and alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) procedures with particular emphasis on crosslinked collagen-based materials. Participants will learn the handling protocols, fixation techniques, soft tissue management strategies, and post-operative monitoring requirements essential for clinical success. The course material addresses defect morphologies and guides clinicians in selecting appropriate materials for specific clinical indications.

Learning objectives include understanding the superior regenerative potential that crosslinked xenografts offer in bone repair, identifying various defect morphologies and matching them to suitable material choices, and mastering the handling recommendations that optimize outcomes. The session is designed for implant surgeons, periodontists, and general practitioners involved in implant treatment planning and bone augmentation procedures.

The course carries 1 continuing education credit and meets AGD PACE requirements with subject codes 690 and 490. The webinar is available in English and includes downloadable reference materials and links to related recorded surgical cases focusing on alveolar bone reconstruction and atrophic ridge treatment. This educational offering reflects current evidence on regenerative materials and their clinical integration into modern implant protocols.
