CONTENT:
Surgical placement of oral implants is governed by the prosthetic design and by the morphology and quality of the alveolar bone. Often, implant placement may be difficult, if at all possible, due to alveolar ridge aberrations. In consequence, prostheticly dictated implant positioning commonly entails bone augmentation procedures. One objective of our laboratory is to evaluate the biologic and clinical potential of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) including rhBMP-2, rhOP-1/rhBMP-7, rhGDF-5, other candidate biologics, bone biomaterials, and devices for alveolar ridge augmentation and implant fixation.
This presentation will discuss the unique biologic potential, the clinical relevance and perspectives of BMP technologies for alveolar bone augmentation and oral implant fixation, in particular the development of a unique bone-inductive oral implant.
The presentation will also address merits and explain short-comings of current treatment protocol including bone biomaterials and guided bone regeneration (GBR). BMPs have an unparalleled potential to augment alveolar bone and support implant osseointegration and long-term functional loading. Inclusion of BMPs for alveolar augmentation and osseointegration will not only enhance predictability of existing clinical protocol but radically change current treatment paradigms. Inclusion of the bone-inductive oral implant in the treatment panorama may make "grafting" and GBR procedures altogether obsolete.

"I have taken 100hrs of CE in the last year alone. I have to say the 4 online courses I recently took was the Best Investment year to date. This is the hands down best online training experience and most up-to-date RELEVANT information you will find out there. Worth every penny. I am also now an online member and have found more useful information in 3 hr. than I have in 5 yr. of traveling to CE courses."

"It is as if you were to have your favorite mentors sitting next to you and showing you how things are done in a very personal level. With an enormous range of high-quality selections from basic tooth restorations to complex surgical procedures, anyone from any field of dentistry would benefit to have this membership under their belts. And I can earn CE credits at the same time!!"
- Dr. Daniel Kim Phoenix, AZ
"The gIDE online institute is a fantastic comprehensive study of all aspects of dentistry and it allowed me to review the updated concepts whenever I wanted. It consists of a highly informative and advanced team of educators with an emphasis on aesthetics and modern concepts in Implant dentistry. It is suitable for all levels from new graduates to experienced practitioners. The scientific evidence based approach is used making this a superior continuing education online platform, compared with other continuing education courses which rely on marketing by manufacturing companies. Even though I lecture extensively in Europe, I was impressed by the collaboration with other colleagues and I am constantly updating and reviewing my skills. I highly recommend the gIDE online library."
