Building a Solid Foundation for Oral Rehabilitation with LASSO GBR
Time: 2:00 PM, February 21, 2025
Speaker: Rodrigo Neiva
Synopsis:
Historically, alveolar ridge preservation and development have focused on volumetric changes with little attention to tissue quality. The aim of this presentation is to discuss disadvantages, and realistic short- and long-term expectations of traditional methods of alveolar ridge development for implant therapy and to discuss advantages of LASSO GBR, a contemporary method of alveolar ridge development, designed to maximize tissue quality.
Learning Obejctives:
At the end of this presentation, clinicians should be able to know and understand:
1. Rationale for absorbable scaffolds in tissue augmentation procedures
2. Material selection based on material properties and features
3. Management of complex alveolar ridge defect
