A Review of Hard-Tissue Grafting in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Hard-tissue augmentation is a core part of daily oral and maxillofacial surgery practice - from routine socket grafting to full-arch reconstruction of the maxilla or mandible. This 60-minute live webinar breaks down the fundamentals that drive predictable outcomes, helping OMSs make confident, case-appropriate decisions across a wide range of clinical scenarios. Participants will learn how key patient and site factors influence procedure selection, material choice and healing timelines. The presentation also clarifies how today's leading regenerative options compare, including when autogenous bone may still be the best fit and when alternative approaches can better support long-term implant stability and esthetic contour management.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

1. Comprehend the principles of bone healing and regeneration.
2. Establish understanding of bone grafting materials and techniques to improve augmentation outcomes. 
3. Identify techniques to avoid and manage common complications of hard-tissue augmentation procedures.

Ridge and sinus augmentation are crucial for successful dental implants, with about 50 percent of patients needing bone grafting before or during the procedure. However, 30 percent of these grafts may require additional intervention due to inadequate grafting, failed osseointegration or continued bone resorption. In 2021, approximately 2.2 million bone graft procedures were performed globally, with an annual growth rate of 13 percent. This session will introduce innovative techniques such as periosteal stretching for passive primary closure, endoscopy-mediated sinus augmentation for complex cases and a novel unfrozen cellular allograft for ridge augmentation. Spanning a decade of cases, the session will highlight bone graft healing sequences, the impact of growth factors and a case series ranging from single-site to complex full-arch bone reconstructions.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

1. Apply an evidence-based approach to clinical cases for selecting the appropriate materials based on specific defects. 
2. Explore innovative techniques, materials and devices to enhance outcomes and predictability. 
3. Achieve consistent and predictable results in both simple and complex cases, minimizing the need for additional bone grafting procedures.

Navigating the complexities of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) modifier use is a vital aspect of coding OMS procedures. Code with confidence by registering for an in-depth webinar designed for OMSs and coding professionals. Whether new to modifier coding or looking to enhance skills, participants will learn practical insights and best practices in this 90-minute webinar that helps demystify the purpose and application of modifiers – those two-character alpha-numeric codes that play a critical role in medical billing by influencing pricing, claims processing and anatomical specificity. Explore commonly misunderstood modifiers such as 59 (distinct procedural services), 57 (decision for surgery) and 53 (discontinued procedure) along with best practices for applying the KX and GY modifiers when billing Medicare services. Through real-world examples from oral and maxillofacial surgery, attendees will learn how to apply these modifiers accurately to ensure compliance, avoid misuse and optimize reimbursement. 

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

1. Apply key CPT modifiers (e.g., 22, 50, 52, 57,59) relevant to billing dental services on medical claim form. 
2. Understand the appropriate use of modifiers KX and GY when billing dental services on medical and dental claim forms, including how they are used to certify linkage to Medicare-covered services or to indicate non-covered services for denial purposes. 
3. Differentiate between modifiers used to indicate surgical complexity and staged procedures, and clearly distinguish the use of modifier 50 (bilateral procedure) from LT and RT (left and right) anatomical modifiers.
4. Recognize scenarios where modifier use may be inappropriate and learn strategies to avoid common errors and misuse.
