Abstract

"Osseodensification" is an evidence-based approach to implant osteotomy preparation that enhances implant stability and bone density without compromising healing. This lecture will present the biomechanical and histological healing timeline, as well as clinical data on Osseodensification. It will discuss bone plasticity and its clinical effects, and also cover the clinical versatility of this novel technique, including sub-crestal sinus autografting, ridge expansion, immediate implant placement with Osseodensification, and guided expansion graft. Several clinical protocols will be outlined.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the scientific principle of Osseodensification.
• Understand bone plasticity biomechanics and its clinical advantages.
• Discuss the Osseodensification effect on total implant stability, healing, and what it means biomechanically (Spring Back Effect) and histologically (Bone Implant Contact)
• Learn how bone can be enhanced with adequate instrumentation.
• Learn sub-crestal sinus lift protocols.
• Learn how Osseodensification can change the minimum amount of bone needed to predictably place an implant utilizing the bone expansion protocol.
• Learn how to optimize their implant practice and create more with less.
