PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
Alveolar bone deficiency, especially in the anterior maxillary area, can prevent ideal implant placement and jeopardize the aesthetic outcome. The anatomic configuration in the atrophic site creates acquired Angle Class III malocclusion influencing the surgical choices. In this program, clinical cases demonstrating moderate-to-severe maxillary atrophy are described, including a combination of sub-nasal, sinus elevation procedure, and cases where intraoral autogenous bone blocks are used for ridge augmentation prior to, or simultaneously with dental implant placement. The ridge augmentation procedures are combined with the creation of a scaffold mixed with plateletrich-plasma (PRP) or bone-marrow aspirate (BMA) and covered with platelet-poor-plasma (PPP) as a biological membrane.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the program, the participant should be able to:

• Have an understanding for how to treat the aesthetic zone in cases with moderate to severe maxillary atrophy.
• Understand when there is a need for combined therapy.
• Have the knowledge to use PPP as a biological membrane.
• Know how to perform clinical procedures with autogenous bone blocks.
