Periosteal Flaps to Enhance Coverage of the Bone Graft and Thickness of Soft Tissue

Following tooth extraction, alveolar bone resorption results in a deficiency of vertical and horizontal dimensions of the bone. With bone resorption, loss of attached gingiva follows. The success of bone regeneration depends on blood supply, migration of progenitor cell and growth factors, stability of the graft and soft tissue, etc.

Several techniques are used to cover the bone graft, the majority using resorbable or non-resorbable membranes.

Periosteum has high vasculo-proliferative and neuro-trophic activities. In addition, it is easier for the dentist to harvest the periosteum for clinical use. It can be harvested from adjacent to the surgery site in sufficient amounts.

Learning objectives:

In this part of Periosteal flap management, we will learn all different applications of periosteal membrane:

  • Palatal periosteal flap to increase coverage of the graft
  • Palatal periosteal flap to increase thickness of the gingiva
  • Mandibular pocket flap (periosteal and mucosal) to cover the bone graft
  • Mandibular periosteal flap to increase keratinized gingiva around implants

Periosteum Membrane for Bone & Gingival Augmentation

Abstract:

Do we need to add a membrane to regenerate? The use of barrier membranes to facilitate new connective tissue attachment and bone grafting procedure has received worldwide acceptance. The resorbable or non-resorbable materials which prevent the rapid growth of connective tissue into the bone graft and maintain space for the regeneration of alveolar bone are commonly used in daily practice. The negative aspects such as: need fixation with pins/sutures, increased cost, host immune reactivity with inflammation, fast biodegradation and limited osteogenic capability should not be neglected. The periosteum has been considered a structure with remarkable regenerative capacity, contains the stem cells and progenitor cells that are capable to produce periodontal tissues, bone, and gingival tissue. The use of periosteum alone as membrane can revolutionize the success of various dental treatments which require either bone or soft tissue regeneration.

Local, sustainable, organic, recyclable: intraoral donor sites

Abstract:

This lecture explores the diverse range of intraoral donor sites that can be used for autologous tissue harvesting beyond what is typically covered in dental school and training. By utilizing autologous tissue, we can avoid the risk of disease transmission and take advantage of its growth factors. However, the gold standard tissue is often overlooked due to concerns around donor site morbidity. Selecting donor sites that are adjacent to the recipient area is associated with minimal postoperative discomfort. Specifically, the focus is on the utilization of tuberosity bone, translocated ridge segments, and extracted or partially extracted teeth. Additionally, complications that may arise when biological principles are not followed will be reviewed. This lecture’s goal is to expand the knowledge of intraoral donor sites and provide practical guidance for their successful utilization in clinical practice.

Smart Concepts in All-on-X

Abstract:

With the increased costs and patient morbidity due to bone grafting procedures and unnecessary aggressive surgery often required in full arch implant reconstructions, an increased patient resistance to implant treatment has been noted. The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the “Smart Concepts” used for the management of All on X Implant cases. Bone grafts can be minimized, treatment can be optimized & accelerated with the use of smarter drilling techniques and by placing site specific (specially designed for a purpose and for a site) implants. With good primary stability these implants can be loaded immediately with Same Day teeth for immediate function . This concept is in line with the late Professor P.I. Brånemark’s philosophy of “Lesser Surgery to Treat More Patients”. High treatment acceptance and patient satisfaction are the most important advantages The gain in time for the patient implies an economic & time benefit which is important especially for professionally and/or socially active patients.

Osteo-Immunology : A New Paradigm Shift in Implantology and Bone Grafting

Abstract:

Osteoimmunology is the modern science that shows the influence of immune system on bone metabolism but also on all tissue healing phenomena. Indeed, bone healing starts with an immune reaction: inflammation triggered by the release of inflammatory cytokines. These cytokines are responsible for angiogenesis, which activates the formation of bone callus. The behavior of bone cells is dependent on the functioning of the immune system. High level production of oxidants is named oxidative stress, will lead to a failure of the immune system with collateral effects such as infection, bone resorption or fibro-integration. This is the case, for example, in diabetics, smokers, patients allergic to penicillin or in chronic inflammatory diseases. A favorable bone metabolism will necessarily require a reduction of oxidative stress by means of various solutions such as adequate vitamin D supplementation, reduction of LDL cholesterol levels or other adequate immune stimulants. Antibiotic prophylaxis must also be revisited in order to use antibiotics with significant immune-stimulating properties. PRF has also an immune function : decreases the inflammatory level and increases the local anti- oxidants. This new science favored new clinical protocols : the open wound technique. With a powerful immune system there is no fear of infection, It will be easy to demonstrate that peri-implantitis is an immune disease that causes bone loss around the implant, triggered by oxidative bone stress.

Simplified lateral ridge augmentation by f.i.r.s.t. and one-time cortical lamina

Abstract:

The Fibrin Sealant (FS) is a drug of human origin used in general and specialist surgery for many decades. It is validated by over 6,000 papers in the literature. In oral surgery, FS stabilizes and maintains the natural clot for 10-14 days. It has adhesive, sealing and inductive action for hard and soft tissues. FS allows better management of particulated bone graft that, becoming plastic and adhesive, adapts perfectly to defects without shedding of granules. It also protects surgical wounds and stimulates faster soft tissue healing. The F.I.R.S.T., devised by Foti V. in 2016 and published in 2020, is a GBR technique that stands out for its simplicity, predictability and low morbidity. Based on the triad fibrin sealantcollagenated heterologous bone-heterologous cortical lamina, it allows the reconstruction of two/three walls post-extraction sockets using envelope flaps (Lamina Shield). In lateral GBR the F.I.R.S.T. allows to glue cortical laminae for heterologous bone particles containment without pins or screws. The result is a lamina/graft complex strongly adherent to the defects, without micromovements and empty spaces, that is one of most important prerequisites for the neo-angiogenesis and the new bone formation. Finally, the minimally invasive “One-Time Cortical Lamina” technique, published by Foti V. in 2021, where it is achieved a vestibular lateral ridge augmentation to simultaneous implants that does not require surgical re-entry for uncovering.

Decoding the aesthetic zone in implant therapy: When, what and how for optimum aesthetics

Abstract:

Once the decision is made to extract a tooth, clinicians have a decision to make; delayed management – i.e. extract and wait, a staged approach – i.e. graft and wait or immediate implant placement. Immediate implant placement combined with a later or an immediate soft tissue support? Also, the achievement of an aesthetic implant-supported restoration is a constant challenge to the restorative dentist. Due to the circular shape of the implant and its smaller diameter, when compared to the root of a natural tooth, a dilemma inevitably occurs of how to construct an artificial crown that will imitate the natural tooth crown form. The appearance of the surrounding soft tissue the is of major importance, and various techniques have been developed to guide its topography. This presentation will highlight parameters and key factors for the evidence-based decision making in order to choose the technique that facilitates a more aesthetic, functional and predictable result according to the patient expectations. Starting with diagnostic models through surgery with immediate provisional restoration therapy to the definitive restorations.

Hard and soft tissue management of atrophic ridges with the Computer Guided Bone Regeneration approach. Resorbable or not resorbable devices.

Abstract:

Today many approaches have been described for alveolar bone regeneration. In our opinion a case 3D analysis is mandatory as well as a prosthetic and aestetich implant installation. To obtain stable results during the follow-up, bone and soft tissue should be managed in accordance with a precise prosthetic plan. We will expose clinical and scientific evidences of the Computer Guided Bone Regeneration approach.
