This session reviews core biological and surgical principles of oral wound healing and tissue regeneration, along with a practical overview of bone grafts, membranes, and biologics for predictable hard and soft tissue regenerative outcomes. Through focused discussions around innovations in biomaterials and biologics featuring clinical cases, participants will learn when and how to use regenerative materials in everyday practice. In addition, this session provides an outlook into personalization of regenerative therapies and highlights how biomaterials can be customized to individual patients.
Learning Objectives:
Review biology of oral wound healing relevant to hard and soft tissue regeneration
Highlight clinical indications and evidence for the application of bone grafts, membranes, and biologics for hard and soft tissue regeneration
Provide insights into emerging technologies for customization of regenerative therapies
