Geistlich Pharma hands-on workshops:
Contemporary Management of Challenging Dentoalveolar Defects
Presented by Dr Markus Troeltzsch – Germany
Sydney: Monday 4 August, 2025
Perth: Wednesday 6 August, 2025
The basic premise for long-term successful implant-supported rehabilitations is the presence of healthy and abundant peri-implant hard and soft tissues. The availability of sufficient hard and/or soft tissues is often limited, and in some instances, the nature of the dentoalveolar defect can be significant.
This full-day workshop will present a variety of surgical options available for reconstructing hard and soft tissues in challenging cases. The role of customised bone regeneration (e.g., Yxoss CBR®) will be discussed, as will the importance of selecting correct biomaterials to help maximise long-term regenerative potential.
Hands-on exercises will be performed on pig jaws to help put into practice many of the presented concepts, including flap designs, soft tissue release, primary tension-free wound closures, and suturing techniques. Surgical management of the medically compromised patient will also be presented.
Learning Objectives:
• Assessing and classifying dentoalveolar defects
• Selecting appropriate surgical techniques with predictable long-term outcomes
• Understanding the role and process of customised bone regeneration in managing osseous defects
• Understanding the properties and application of different osseous graft materials
• How to improve the quantity and quality of soft tissues around implants
• Modifying pre-, intra-, and post-surgical management of the medically compromised patient
