ELC24-GS4: Are Biologics Replacing the “Gold Standard” of Autogenous Bone?
Topic 1: “Cellular Bone Allografts as an Alternative to Autogenous Bone”
Topic 2: “Is Autogenous Bone Still the Gold Standard?”
Topic 3: “Recombinant Growth Factor as a Biologic Additive to Bone Grafts”
- Understand the biology of autogenous bone grafts and methods to harvest autogenous bone with less morbidity.
- Evaluate the current evidence on tissue engineering to overcome the need to harvest autogenous bone.
- Know the healing benefits of delivering cells to complex bone defects with autogenous bone or cellular bone allografts and appreciate the importance of osteocytes in bone graft healing.
- Comprehend the efficacy and clinical advantages of applying human recombinant growth factor to alveolar bone defects.
