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 and 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
