LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
• The types of bone grafts available
• The value of a barrier membrane and how to use it
• The use of growth factors in bone grafting success
• The four grafting timing possibilities:
• At the time of extraction (site preservation)
• Simultaneous with extraction and implant placement (immediate implantation)
• Post extraction and ridge augmentation (Peri-implant GBR)
• Post extraction (ridge augmentation, sinus grafting, ridge expansion)
