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.
