Maxillary Alveolar Ridge Augmentation: 2027

Time: Feb 26, 2027 10:45 AM - 11:25 AM
Speaker: Dr. Michael Pikos

Presentation Synopsis

This presentation is a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art reconstruction of the deficient maxilla utilizing growth factors, biologics, and advanced biomaterial technologies.  It will focus on evidence-based surgical protocols, patient-specific treatment planning, complication prevention, and long-term implant rehabilitation outcomes. Clinical cases with extended follow-up will demonstrate predictable regenerative strategies for restoring esthetics, function, and implant stability in complex maxillary defects.

Learning Objectives

  • Discuss contemporary indications, biologic principles, and evidence-based applications of growth factors and biomaterials in maxillary alveolar ridge augmentation.
  • Develop a systematic surgical approach for treatment planning and reconstruction of deficient maxillary ridges to optimize implant rehabilitation outcomes.
  • Analyze long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of augmented maxillary sites through comprehensive case follow-up and outcome assessment.
