Step-By-Step Techniques for Implant & Bone Grafting Success Meffert Implant Institute November 15-16, 2011

This lecture explains and demonstrates the rationale and techniques for obtaining adult stem cells from bone-marrow aspirate. The rationale explains how this procedure might replace autogenous bone. The technique is simple and there is minimal post-operative morbidity. Histomorphogenic analysis demonstrates the efficacy of bone marrow aspirate with different graft scaffolds.

COURSE HIGHLIGHT: Step-by-Step bone graft protocol, treatment planning and decision tree/ Concepts bone graft techniques and rationale / Intra-osseous bone graft and on-lay bone grafts / The latest graft material and techniques / New generation granules, gels, blocks, wedges and posts graft material/ Perform bone graft surgery on training models/ Biology and application of bone marrow aspirate and peripheral blood / Practical knowledge and rationale of stem cells, cytokines, and growth factors / Practice on anatomic models for hands-on experience/ Demonstrate Bone marrow Aspiration, a proven better alternative to autogenous bone / Instruments and sterile preparation for surgery.
