What are the factors influencing whether to keep a tooth or replace with an implant? How predictable is guided tissue regeneration? Can an immediate implant be placed for teeth with infections or periodontal defects? Can an ailing implant be saved or should it be removed? This lecture will identify cases of guided bone regeneration with different scenarios of saving or replacing teeth and implants. It will review innovative immediate implant therapy techniques, flap debridement with grafting and membranes, and implant bone regeneration.
Learning Objectives:
Help make decisions on whether to replace teeth with implants or perform periodontal regeneration.
