Modern Concepts of Horizontal and Vertical Guided Bone Regeneration, the Role of Chemical Plaque Control in Wound Healing and Implant Maintenance for Long-Term Success

The horizontal and vertical restoration of hard and soft tissues around implants presents a significant challenge for dentists. Creating the proper three-dimensional tissue environment is crucial to achieving lasting bone level stability. Guided bone regeneration with the use of resorbable and non-resorbable membranes helps facilitate this process. Chemical plaque control plays a crucial role in avoiding short- and long-term complications by supporting postoperative wound healing and maintaining a long-lasting inflammation-free state of the peri-implant tissues.

The horizontal and vertical restoration of both hard and soft tissues around dental implants represents one of the most demanding aspects of contemporary implantology. Achieving predictable and stable outcomes requires not only surgical precision but also a thorough understanding of tissue biology and healing dynamics. The creation of a proper three-dimensional tissue architecture is essential for establishing long-term functional and esthetic success. Without an adequate volume of bone and soft tissue, implants may be compromised by peri-implant dehiscence, mucosal recession, or insufficient support for the prosthetic restoration.

This webinar will explore the principles of guided bone regeneration (GBR) and soft tissue management, with a focus on the use of resorbable and non-resorbable membranes to optimize healing and regeneration. Participants will learn how the correct choice of biomaterials and surgical techniques contributes to durable outcomes in both functional and esthetic zones.

Equally critical is the role of chemical plaque control in the postoperative phase. Without effective bacterial management, even the most carefully executed regeneration procedures risk early complications or long-term peri-implant disease. We will discuss how products specifically designed for implantology, such as Curasept Implant-Pro, support wound healing, minimize inflammation, and maintain a healthy peri-implant environment. By integrating advanced surgical approaches with the right chemical adjuncts, clinicians can significantly improve predictability, reduce complications, and achieve lasting success in implant therapy.

Join us to gain practical insights into combining regenerative techniques with modern plaque control strategies to deliver stable, long-term outcomes for your patients.
