Learning objectives
After completing this module you should be able to:
- Explain the process of alveolar ridge resorption in the maxilla and mandible
- Discuss the functional, general health and esthetic consequences of ridge atrophy
- Be aware of problems that severe ridge atrophy can cause for prosthetic treatment and implant dentistry
- Identify typical defect situations in ridge atrophy
- Explain the technique for different types of bone grafts (onlay, interpositional graft, distraction osteogenesis) and their difficulty and healing capacity
- Know how to apply defect specific treatment options for partially edentulous patients
- Describe the techniques and level of predictability for bone augmentation in edentulous jaws (eg. in combination with Le Fort I Osteotomy)
- Explain the treatment options for bone defects after trauma, tumor or malformations (continuity defects): vascular fibula flaps
- List different donor sites for autogenous bone grafts (intraoral and extraoral)
- Know about the team approach (maxillofacial surgeon, prosthodontist, dental technician)
- As a general dentist, you should be able to inform the patient about the possibilities in case of severe resorption and refer him to the specialist
