Sample: A Decision Tree for Selection of Implant Height

A Decision Tree for Selection of Implant Height: Augmentation vs. Utilization of Existing Native Bone Presented at AAID's 2015 Annual Educational Conference Homa Zadeh, DDS, PhD Associate Professor and Director, Post-Doctoral Periodontology Program, University of Southern California Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry Diplomate, American Board of Periodontology Part-time private practice, limited to periodontology There is often some degree of atrophy in sites planned for implant placement. An array of therapeutic options is available for implant placement in sites with vertical atrophy of the alveolar ridge, including ridge augmentation, sinus augmentation in the maxilla,nerve repositioning in the mandible, and tilted implants. Short implants have been systematically evaluated as alternatives in sites with vertical alveolar ridge atrophy with favorable clinical outcomes. Decision-making for selection of appropriate therapeutic modality for sites with alveolar ridge atrophy has to consider biomechanical, surgical, and prosthetic considerations. Biomechanical, surgical, and prosthetic guidelines will be provided for application of reduced dimension implants for sites with limited bone volume. Learning Objectives: At completion of this presentation, participants should be able to: 1. Recognize the therapeutic options available for sites with vertical alveolar ridge atrophy 2. Identify appropriate case selection criteria for application of short implants versus those sites requiring ridge augmentation 3. Institute proper surgical and prosthetic protocol for utilization of short implants The presentation is approximately 60 minutes in length and at this time does not qualify for CE credit.
