From defect to regeneration: Strategies for predictable bone augmentation (Online on demand)

This live webinar explores contemporary strategies for horizontal bone augmentation in implant dentistry, with particular emphasis on Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) in esthetically demanding sites. Delivered by Dr. Leandro Soeiro Nunes, the lecture addresses one of the fundamental challenges in modern implant practice: achieving predictable bone regeneration where both functional and biological outcomes must meet exacting clinical expectations.

The webinar provides a comprehensive examination of clinical decision-making frameworks for defect assessment and case selection. Attendees will learn the biological principles underlying GBR and evidence supporting different regenerative approaches. The presentation covers a step-by-step surgical protocol for horizontal augmentation, including flap design considerations, defect management techniques, graft stabilization methods, membrane selection and fixation strategies, soft-tissue management approaches, and achieving primary closure in challenging anatomical situations.

A significant portion of the program is dedicated to biomaterials and regenerative materials. The lecture discusses the biological properties, indications, advantages, and limitations of various materials currently available to clinicians. Clinical cases illustrate how to translate biological principles and scientific evidence into predictable surgical protocols, with emphasis on the key factors that influence success and stability of horizontal augmentation procedures.

The presentation is supported by a critical review of current literature focusing on evidence-based protocols and long-term clinical outcomes. This scientific grounding ensures that attendees receive practical, clinically applicable information rather than theoretical concepts alone.

The event is designed for implant dentists, oral surgeons, and periodontal specialists who regularly manage complex bone deficiencies. Participants will gain a practical and scientifically grounded framework for transforming challenging horizontal defects into predictable regenerative outcomes and stable foundations for implant rehabilitation. The webinar will be recorded, allowing access for those unable to attend the live session due to technical issues or scheduling conflicts.
