This module will introduce concepts relating to the preservation of bone at an implant site. Students will be shown how to identify cases which may benefit from bone augmentation. Treatment planning concepts will be developed with the use of appropriate diagnostic imaging techniques including the use of CT scans. The basic surgical procedures involved in guided bone regeneration will be covered as well as the principles of bone healing and re-growth.
