Learning Objectives
-
Identify and manage common intraoperative complications during implant placement, including flap design errors, implant angulation mistakes, nerve injury, and excessive bleeding.
-
Recognize and manage bone grafting complications such as membrane perforation, graft instability, donor site morbidity, and inadequate fixation.
-
Develop predictable treatment plans using proper diagnostics and defect analysis to select appropriate techniques such as GBR, bone splitting, and block grafting.
-
Recognize and treat postoperative complications including pain, tissue emphysema, cover screw exposure, graft exposure, infection, and soft tissue dehiscence.
-
Strengthen clinical problem-solving skills through case-based discussions and structured management approaches.
-
Prevent surgical risks such as bone overheating, implant fracture, cortical plate fracture, graft failure, and soft tissue trauma.
-
Improve implant stability, optimize graft integration, reduce recovery time, and enhance long-term clinical outcomes in implant dentistry and bone augmentation procedures.

When patients lose teeth in the posterior maxilla, alveolar bone resorption follows as a consequence of physiological bone remodelling following tooth loss and also from sinus cavity pneumatization towards the alveolar crest. These two processes usually result in...
