SORG preprosthetic section
Preprosthetic surgery aims to achieve oral rehabilitation in case of partial or total tooth loss with the aim of a long-term stable and uneventful prosthetic correction
Recent years brought up a large increase in new technologies and treatment opportunities. Both physicians and patients are nowadays often insecure about the best treatment option. Therefore the search for evidence as well as teaching & education is the main motivation for the preprosthetic section. In detail, the following points are of interest to the section:
- Demands on bony reconstruction of the alveolar crest
- Soft tissue aesthetics
- Regional and non-regional bone grafting procedure
- Patient-compliant procurements
- Complications and how to deal with them?
- Distraction osteogenesis and the limits involved in this technique
- Orthodontic considerations
- The role of biomaterials, PRP, and growth factors
