Session 1 | 8-8:45am

Blood Products for Oral and Maxillofacial Regeneration

Presented by: Tara Aghaloo, DDS, MD, PhD

Bone healing and regeneration, especially in the oral and maxillofacial region, poses significant challenges for the practicing clinician. Although autogenous bone is the gold standard for regenerative procedures, major complications, limited availability, and technical sensitivity cause clinicians to search for alternative strategies and techniques to improve outcomes.

With the popularity of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, stem cells, growth factors, and scaffolds are now being discussed between surgeons and patients. However, regulatory limitations, high costs, and complex medical histories often prevent surgeons from offering the latest regenerative techniques to all patients. In this case, how do oral and maxillofacial surgeons improve hard and soft tissue grafting outcomes?

The use of blood products, specifically platelet concentrates, have become extremely popular for regenerative procedures. Whether used to improve vascularity, aid in soft tissue healing, or congeal particulate bone graft material together, autologous blood products are in a surgeon’s daily armamentarium.

This presentation will discuss the use of autologous blood products in oral and maxillofacial regeneration, including indications, techniques, complications, and outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss the use of autologous blood products in oral and maxillofacial regeneration.

  • Review the benefits and pitfalls of using autologous blood products.

  • Explore the science behind these innovative products.

Session 2 | 8:45-9:30am

Management of Complex Cases in the Aesthetic Region

Presented by: Jorge Caubet Biayna, GJJ, MD, PhD, FEBOMS

It is well known that rehabilitating complex cases in the aesthetic region with implants is challenging. Proper analysis of the soft tissue, hard tissue, the sequence between grafting and implantation, as well as patient selection, are all crucial factors.

The objectives of this presentation are threefold: first, the proper management of soft tissue; second, when and how to perform bone grafting; and third, the correct sequence for implant placement.

The clinical management of the aesthetic sector involves two crucial factors: first, achieving a predictable outcome, and second, ensuring that any intervention is based on scientific evidence.

The maxillofacial surgeon works in collaboration with the prosthodontist, and the treatment plan should be developed jointly. Analyzing bone mass alone is not sufficient; it’s also necessary to consider the profile of the soft tissue, the presence of adjacent teeth or implants, lip position, smile line, and the patient’s facial characteristics. Aesthetic results demand symmetry, appropriate gingival margins, and dental exposure, which should be assessed preoperatively.

In this presentation, we will begin by reviewing the key factors in managing the aesthe?c sector, focusing on those described between 2000 and 2010. We will review the main surgical techniques to address bone defects: cortical graft, particulate grafts, and guided bone regeneration. We will also examine the indications for connective tissue grafting prior to bone graft placement. Additionally, we will cover the indications for regeneration and analyze cases of complications and how they have been resolved.

Learning Objectives:

  • Review the management of soft tissue in the aesthetic region.
  • Explore when and how to perform bone grafting.
  • Understand the correct sequence for implant placement.
