Live Surgery

Three different live surgeries will be performed and beamed directly to the AAID Annual Meeting audience.  In addition to the surgeon, there will be a moderator at the surgical venue and one at the AAID Annual Meeting venue.

Thursday, October 4

10:30 am - Noon
Inter-positional Bone Grafting Surgery
AGD Subject Code: 312
Joel L. Rosenlicht, DMD

  • Past President and Honored Fellow, American Academy of Implant Dentistry
  • Diplomate, American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry
  • Chief of Oral Surgery, Eastern Connecticut Health Network
  • Board Certified, American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Bone grafting is a very common procedure today in oral maxillofacial surgery and especially relating to implant dentistry. There is no question that a variety of different types of defects present themselves for reconstruction and there are a number of different procedures that can be done to make those corrections.  One of the techniques that is utilized in certain types of bony deficiencies is the use of inter-positional bone grafting. This procedure places bone graft material between viable segments of already existing bone and appears to have a significant increase in success and remodeling of the graft that is placed. This procedure seems to be especially beneficial when using allograft material, although concominently, it can also be utilized with autograft.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify when inter-positional bone grafting may be appropriate
2. Show the surgical technique in doing an inter-positional bone grafting
3. Identify the important clinical characteristics of segment stability and immobilization of the graft for inter-positional bone grafting
4. Harvesting of autogenous bone or utilization of allographic bone material

4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Reconstruction of an Atrophic Ridge after rhBMP2 Augmentation
AGD Subject Code: 704
Alan Herford, DDS, MD

  • Associate Professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Loma Linda University
  • Private practice

Most of the grafting materials until recently provided a bone regeneration via osteoconduction, except for the autogenous bone which is considered the golden standard by its osteogenesis properties. This presentation will show how rh-BMP-2, a growth factor that has the ability to provide osteoinductivity, is now available for use in our day-by-day practice. It enhances bone regeneration for augmentation of deficient ridges as illustrated allowing for bone quality and quantity sufficient for dental implant reconstruction.

Learning Objectives:

1. Evaluate indication for the usage of BMP
2. Demonstrate the technique employed to predictably utilize BMPs for ridge augmentation
3. Rehabilitate the augmented ridge with implants

Sergey Zorin, DDS

  • Completed residency program in oral and maxillofacial surgery, Saint-Petersburg State Medical University
  • Private practice, Saint-Petersburg, Russia

This live broadcast from Moscow will demonstrate vertical bone augmentation with 3-Dimensional reconstruction in areas of 12,13 and 14.  # 11 presents with a horizontal bone less of over 8 - 9 mm.  The teeth were missing for over 22 years.  The surgery will cover step-by-step procedures of the vertical and horizontal augmentation with autogenous bone and Rh BMP2.

Learning Objectives:

1. Diagnose and classify various types of bone loss
2. Formulate treatment options to reconstruct vertical and horizontal bone loss
3. Create a treatment plan for autogenous bone augmentation from intra-oral sources
4. Manage and utilize Rh BMP2 for implant reconstruction
