The ADF Conference Dr Hadi Antoun 24 November 2 November 2015

Meeting at ADF on Tuesday 24 November 2pm for Dr Hadi Antoun's session about the following theme:

"Pre-implant Bone Augmentation in the Posterior Mandible: Between Myth and Clinical Reality"

Summary:

Many protocols are available to overcome the challenge of bone reconstruction of the posterior mandible. Surgical techniques with the highest success rate as well as the most important bone gain were selected and will be presented by surgeons who are experts in their field. Dr. Bahige Tourbah will clinically and radiologically discuss the anatomophysiological characteristics of the posterior mandible that render it difficult to bone augmentation and can lead to pre and post operative complications. Dr. Michel JABBOUR will develop vertical and horizontal bone augmentation with allogeneic cortico-cancellous bone blocks. Dr. Hadi ANTOUN will present guided bone regeneration with immediate or delayed implant placement.

Objectives:

Discover reliable techniques to reconstruct prior or during implantation of the posterior mandibular alveolar bone. Show that success does not come from technical achievement but from a strict scientific and operating discipline.
