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.
