The Contemporary Approach in Managing Complex Dento-Alveolar Defects
Sydney, AUSTRALIA
From: 9:00 AM Saturday, 28 March, 2026
Registration opens at 8:30 AM
To: 5:00 PM Saturday, 28 March, 2026
Customised Major Bone Regeneration: The Contemporary Approach in Managing Complex Dento-Alveolar Defects
Sensible case selection, sound surgical technique, and use of appropriate biomaterials have made bone augmentation procedures safe and predictable. However, traditional surgical techniques to manage complex dento-alveolar defects can be technique sensitive, time-consuming, and often necessitate significant donor site surgery with associated post-harvest surgical morbidity.
This full-day workshop and lecture facilitated by Professor Matteo Chiapasco, the internationally-renowned Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, will provide a comprehensive breakdown of the principles and procedures involved in CBR. Of particular importance will be the management of soft tissues; a key consideration in ensuring treatment success.
Key Learning Objectives
- Flap design and raising of mucoperiosteal flaps – pig jaws
- Simulating gain of bone volume (vertical and lateral) and achieving successful tension-free primary wound closure – pig jaws
- Use of bone scrapers to source autogenous bone chips – pig jaws
- Mixing of bone chips and Geistlich Bio-Oss®, and filling of an Yxoss CBR® mesh
- Correctly seating the loaded Yxoss CBR® mesh onto a defect and securing the mesh with screws – on simulation model
The day will run as follows:
8:30am Registration with Light Refreshments
9:00am Workshop Commences
5:00pm Workshop Concludes with Networking Drinks
Please feel free to bring your Loupes.
