Jaw defects may result from maxillofacial trauma, head and neck infections, jaw pathology, or congenital craniomaxillofacial defects. These resultant jaw defects often involve more than just the bone, since teeth, nerves, mucosa, skin, and muscles can all be lost either from the disease or the treatment. At UIC our approach to jaw reconstruction is more than just replacement of bony substructure of the maxilla or mandible. In our Center of Excellence at UIC, we attempt to replace as many of these missing structures at the same time of the ablation and reconstruction to attempt to achieve immediate “full functional jaw reconstruction.

1. The participants will learn about the different types of bony and soft tissue reconstruction options and understand the UIC reconstruction philosophy.

2. The participants will learn about nerve reconstruction including why allogenic nerves are preferred and the benefits of immediate reconstruction.

3. The participants will learn the indications and contraindications to immediate dental reconstruction.

Blood Products for Oral and Maxillofacial Regeneration

Presented by: Tara Aghaloo, DDS, MD, PhD

Description:

Bone healing and regeneration, especially in the oral and maxillofacial region, poses significant challenges for the practicing clinician. Although autogenous bone is the gold standard for regenerative procedures, major complications, limited availability, and technical sensitivity cause clinicians to search for alternative strategies and techniques to improve outcomes. With the popularity of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, stem cells, growth factors, and scaffolds are now being discussed between surgeons and patients. However, regulatory limitations, high costs, and complex medical histories often prevent surgeons from offering the latest regenerative techniques to all patients. In this case, how do oral and maxillofacial surgeons improve hard and soft tissue grafting outcomes? The use of blood products, specifically platelet concentrates, have become extremely popular for regenerative procedures. Whether used to improve vascularity, aid in soft tissue healing, or congeal particulate bone graft material together, autologous blood products are in a surgeon’s daily armamentarium. This presentation will discuss the use of autologous blood products in oral and maxillofacial regeneration, including indications, techniques, complications, and outcomes.

• Learning Objectives:
  • Discuss the use of autologous blood products in oral and maxillofacial regeneration.
  • Review the benefits and pitfalls of using autologous blood products.
  • Explore the science behind these innovative products.

Maxillary dental rehabilitation presents a unique set of challenges, particularly in cases of severely atrophic maxillas and/or post-ablative defects. This IAOMS webinar will explore three distinct approaches for maxillary rehabilitation: zygomatic implants, patient specific subperiosteal implants, and traditional dental implants with grafting. Through expert presentations and detailed discussions, participants will gain insight into the specific indications, surgical protocols, and expected outcomes associated with each method, along with potential complications and patient management considerations.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Understand Patient Selection Criteria for Maxillary Rehabilitation

- Recognize the clinical factors that determine the choice between zygomatic, patient specific subperiosteal, and traditional implants with grafting.

- Identify patient-specific indications for each implant type, based on maxillary bone quality and rehabilitation needs.

2. Compare Surgical Techniques and Protocols

- Analyze the procedural nuances and challenges of zygomatic implants, patient specific subperiosteal implants, and traditional implants with grafting techniques.

- Discuss the differences in surgical complexity, intraoperative requirements, and post-surgical recovery for each approach.

3. Evaluate Outcomes, Complications, and Long-Term Management

- Assess the short- and long-term outcomes, success rates, and potential complications associated with each implant option.

- Outline follow-up care and long-term maintenance strategies for each approach, including patient education and required adjustments.

This webinar aims to provide oral and maxillofacial surgeons with valuable insights and practical guidelines, enhancing their ability to select and implement the most appropriate maxillary rehabilitation technique to optimize patient outcomes.
