EthOss® Courses

Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in the research base for synthetic particulate graft materials, such as EthOss®.

During this lecture, the speaker will examine the reasons for this increase, along with his own research in this area. This will demonstrate the science and biology behind the up-regulation of the host healing response and the value of not using a traditional collagen membrane.

The event will look at a number of newer clinical protocols, alongside refinements to existing protocols, to improve the healing process and enable the regeneration of new bone both vertically and horizontally.

The quality of the newly regenerated bone will also be considered, showing how the success of a healed graft site cannot be judged merely by quantity, as living tissue needs to turn over to remain healthy and optimise long-term results. These long-term outcomes will be demonstrated using the subtle changes in the radiographic images over time.

Numerous aspects of implant placement and defect repair will be shown including:
