This seminar discusses one-step ridge preservation as well as how to enhance the
implant site by combining novel biomaterials with autologous growth factors. From simple and
cost-effective socket grafting to more advanced clinical concepts such as sinus lifts and PRF, this
course covers a spectrum of pliable preformed shapes used in bone grafting procedures for
implant placement. Surgical techniques and novel biomaterials will be discussed using Synthetic
Bioactive Resorbable Calcium Apatite crystals combined with bovine achilles tendon collagen to
form composite grafting material.

Learning Objectives:
• understand alveolar ridge preservation and why it is important to graft sockets as well as
recognize the clinical indications and benefits of this procedure
• learn novel techniques for successful sinus elevation
• demonstrate simple, predictable and cost-effective socket grafting techniques without use of
a membrane
• become familiar with basic protocols and the advantages of PRF
