AAP-OF Webinar: New Periodontist/Resident Virtual Forum: Posterior Maxillary Atrophy: Surgical Treatment Modalitie
This webinar focuses on vertical and horizontal augmentation of the posterior edentulous area, using autologous bone and biomaterials to enable predictable implant-supported rehabilitation.
Techniques presented include:
• Ridge preservation
• Sinus augmentation
• Guided bone regeneration (GBR)
• Onlay autologous block grafts
• Soft tissue manipulations
Soft tissue management is critical for graft protection and healing.
The modified palatal roll technique and pedicled buccal fat pad provide vascularized coverage and increased tissue thickness, essential in severe atrophy for long-term stability.
Seminar Date:
August 18, 2026
- Evaluate the different surgical treatment modalities available for managing posterior maxillary atrophy, including both hard and soft tissue approaches.
- Understand the role of soft tissue manipulation techniques—such as the palatal roll flap and buccal fat pad, in enhancing graft protection, vascularization, and healing outcomes.
- Assess the impact of combined hard and soft tissue augmentation on long-term implant stability and success in the atrophic posterior maxilla.
