Bone is one of the key determinants to achieve success in implant dentistry. When there is inadequate bone, regenerative surgical procedures become necessary to grow bone for implant placement. The successes of these regenerative surgical procedures depend upon several factors. This presentation will show how the use of remote incisions can improve the success of onlay bone grafting regenerative techniques.

Learning Objectives:  At completion of this presentation, participants should be able to:

1. Develop a general consideration for onlay grafting procedures

2. Identify alternative methods of incision design for greater protection of blood supply and enhance a sustainable closure

3. Understand where particulate graft materials vs. block materials have optimal application
