A Practical Session on Ridge Expansion and Compaction
AGD Subject Code: 694
Stuart Orton-Jones, BDS
- Founding member, Pankey Association
- Member, Association of Dental Implantologists
- Frequent lecturer throughout the world on implant topics
The practical session will include ridge compaction and expansion on models. Clinical cases will be presented. The materials and instruments required for the procedure will be supplied and demonstrated. Introduction: Implant placement would be comparatively easy if ridge heights, ridge widths and positions and the bone density were ideal. If this were the case holes could be drilled with relative ease and implant screwed in. However, this is not often the case. One option is to graft ridges in an attempt to overcome these problems. This delayed the placement of implants while grafts mature. Patients undergo additional surgical procedures with the accompanying post-operative after effects and occasional complications. They also have an extra financial outlay. Bone compaction techniques for less dense ridges result in increased primary stability. Expanding techniques allow implants to be placed in narrow ridges that would otherwise require grafting. This results in no delay and no extra financial outlay for the patient. Labial or buccal contour of the arches may also be corrected by the expansion of the labial and buccal cortical plates during ridge expansion. This results in an improved cosmetic result.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand how to correct ridge width and position
8:00 am - Noon

Presented through a grant from Intra-Lock International, Presidential Sponsor
Jack T. Krauser, DMD
- Staff, Nova Southeastern University, School of Dentistry
- Co-author, Dental Implants: The Art and Science
- Private practice in periodontics and implant surgery
Prescribing dental implant placement at time of extraction can be an important treatment modality. However, unlike healed ridges, extraction sites can present challenging problems for the implant surgeon. Compromised architecture, reduced bone-to-implant contact, lower initial stability of the implant, and a shortage of tissue for ideal closure all contribute to a higher incidence of complications and failures. This workshop will address surgical and restorative strategies to mitigate these potential problems while maximizing healing of both soft and hard tissues. It will include a look at the new advances in implant design, principles of tissue engineering using L-PRF, optimizing compressed tissue maturation, and enhancement of soft tissue biotype.
Learning Objectives:
1. Managing extraction site defects after implant placement
2. Enhancing biotype in highly parabolic sites
3. Maximizing initial stability of the implant in minimal bone sites
4. Improving clinical outcomes by re-engineering the biology of hard and soft tissue
1:30 pm - 5:30 pm
W6: The Treatment of Inadequate Ridge Height Using the Tatum Ridge Repositioning (Vertical Sectional Osteotomy Procedure)
AGD Subject Code: 694
Stuart Orton-Jones, BDS
- Founding member, Pankey Association
- Member, Association of Dental Implantologists
- Frequent lecturer throughout the world on implant topics
The treatment of inadequate ridge height is one of the most unpredictable tasks in the treatment of ridge deficiency. There are several options available. The most common of the procedures available involves the use of bone blocks either taken from the patient or using irradiated bone taken from a donor. The bone blocks do not initially have a blood supply. There is a tendency for tissue to breakdown over the block to occur resulting in bone exposure and partial loss of the graft. The use of particulate graft materials only succeeds if a framework is used to protect the graft during the maturation period as particulate grafts tend to move after being positioned. The Tatum Vascularised Sectional Osteotomy procedure involves the sectioning of the patient’s ridge and movement of the section into the correct position. Mucosa over the bone block remains attached, therefore, blood supply to the bone block is maintained during and after the procedure. The mucosa over the repositioned bone block is unlikely to break down exposing the bone block. This results in a lower risk of complications and a more stable result. Each participant will learn the flap design, the procedure for sectioning the block to be moved, how to move and secure the block and the final suturing technique for the procedure. The Lecture content will cover in detail the step-by-step stages of the procedure. There will also be case presentations of several ridge repositioning procedures. The Practical Session will involve incision making, flap reflection, block sectioning, repositioning, and stabilization of the bone block using irradiated bone and the suturing technique for the procedure. This will be performed on a specially designed model. All instruments and materials will be demonstrated.
Learning Objectives:
1. Correct the position of an alveolar ridge in one visit while maintaining the blood supply to the section being moved. This procedure may also be used to correct the position of implants
1:30 pm - 5:30 pm

- Founder and Director, Fairfield County Dental Club and Sonick Seminars
- Private practice, devoted to periodontics and surgical placement of dental implants, Fairfield, CT
With the desire for dental implant therapy ever escalating, clinicians are faced with the challenge of augmenting deficient natural physiology to provide effective sites for implantation. Today in implant dentistry, implants must not only be osseointegrated, but in the right place and esthetic. The excuse, “well, that is where the bone was,” is no longer acceptable. The sequence and timing for implant placement and regeneration will vary depending on the situation. Implant placement may be immediate or delayed up to nine months depending on the quality and quantity of bone. The advantages and disadvantages of each of the treatment modalities will be discussed. Hard tissue augmentation techniques at the various phases of treatment will be shown. Included will be a review of site preservation, particulate bone grafting, guided bone regeneration, and ridge augmentation.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the variety of techniques that are available to them for hard tissue regeneration
2. Choose the appropriate therapy for different surgical situations
3. Perform surgery with higher success and low complication rates
