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.

This session focuses on infection control and safety in the oral and maxillofacial surgery setting to reduce the risk of infection transmission. When team members are equipped with knowledge and skills, they can prevent breaches in infection control that could lead to serious patient safety risks. Discussion will include current infection prevention strategies for sterilization and disinfection of patient care items, information on how to audit the OMS setting using the CDC checklist and action steps to take when gaps are identified. Attendees will learn how to effectively communicate the findings of an infection control audit to co-workers and supervisors in a manner that is non-confrontational. Checklists and reliable resources will be provided so participants can reinforce best practices in dental infection control per CDC guidelines and promote a culture of safety and compliance. Additionally, safe injection practices will be covered. Code: ODAM25PMOD07

The resurgence of subperiosteal implants — driven by digital and 3D imaging — has transformed treatment possibilities for patients with severe alveolar atrophy, anatomical limitations and those who cannot tolerate standard implants. This 60-minute live webinar will explore how subperiosteal implants are planned and placed surgically with a practical roadmap for predictable outcomes in complex maxillofacial cases.

The resurgence of subperiosteal implants — driven by digital and 3D imaging — has transformed treatment possibilities for patients with severe alveolar atrophy, anatomical limitations and those who cannot tolerate standard implants. This 60-minute live webinar will explore how subperiosteal implants are planned and placed surgically with a practical roadmap for predictable outcomes in complex maxillofacial cases.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Describe the evolution of subperiosteal implant therapy and explain how contemporary digital workflows have improved precision, safety and outcomes compared to historical techniques.
- Identify appropriate patient selection criteria including anatomical, medical and prosthetic factors for modern subperiosteal implant placement in severely atrophic jaws.
- Integrate prosthetic considerations— such as occlusion, load distribution and esthetics—into the surgical design to ensure long-term function and patient satisfaction.
- Recognize and manage potential complications including peri-implant soft-tissue, mechanical failures and maintenance needs using evidence-based strategies.
