WEBINAR SYNOPSIS:
BONE GRAFT WITHOUT MEMBRANE – A LEAP OF FAITH

As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, autograft is the forte of my practice. Throughout time, different bone sources, namely allograft, xenograft and synthetic bone have been introduced into my practice; the last was received with some reservation. However, later I realised the indications dictate the type of bone best used for patients, not the branding or the source of material. EthOss as one bone graft material is different from the typical bone grafts as it avoids the use of a membrane. This material also avoids ethical issues in patients not agreeing to have the product of previously living human or animals used for guided bone regeneration. This presentation shares my experience using EthOss in different clinical practices.

WEBINAR SYNOPSIS:
SYNTHETIC GRAFTS: PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE

The use of bone grafts in Periodontal and Implant surgery has been a staple procedure in clinics worldwide. The outcome of this technique sensitive procedure highly depends on the skill of the clinician and the choice of materials used. As evidence suggests, surgical outcomes can significantly improve with shorter and simpler surgical protocols. But simpler protocols have to be supported by biomaterials that can deliver the expected regenerative results. In this webinar, Dr Renu will discuss how the use of bone grafts has evolved over the years and particularly how the synthetic bone graft which was shunned in the past is making a strong comeback.
