Australia of Professor Paolo Casentini, world-renowned implant surgeon and lecturer, from Milan, Italy.\u00a0 Dr Casentini works in a multi-disciplinary surgical and reconstruction team in Milan offering reconstruction of jaw bone, associated soft tissues and replacement of lost teeth in patients with bone severe defects in the jaws.Prof Casentini has been brought to Australia by Geistlich Australia, who provide high quality grafting materials that are used in the orthopaedic and facial reconstruction areas.\u00a0 Although a Swiss family-owned company based in Wolhusen, Switzerland, Geistlich uses only cow bone harvested from a single herd of South Australia cows for the production of bone grafting materials.\u00a0 The cows are certified free of infections such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease that has been found to affect cows in Europe and elsewhere.\u00a0 This means such grafting materials are an Australian product and are used worldwide by surgeons.\u00a0 Geistlich bone graft (Bio-Oss) is the only bone substitute that enables recipients to continue to be blood donors (International Red Cross regulations) after acceptance of a graft.Geistlich Australia ran an intensive one-day post-graduate course in Sydney for experienced surgical clinicians involved in implant dentistry with a special interest in jawbone reconstruction in support of the rehabilitation of patients following severe jaw infections, bone destruction and loss of teeth.Dr Colin Priestland has been involved in this field now for over 20 years and is a senior lecturer at the James Cook University Medical and Dental School providing the postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Dentistry in Dental Implants.Professor, Dr Paolo Casentini from Milan, Italy, provided a full day of postgraduate education entitled \u201cProsthetically Guided Regeneration\u201d.\u00a0 The day was made up of lectures, superbly illustrated by high quality clinical photography and clinical videos of surgical procedures from multiple challenging clinical cases of severe hard and soft tissue deficiencies in both the jaws.Case studies allowed for case discussions and assessment followed by comparison of all potential treatment options leading to a final treatment plan.\u00a0 Full case reconstructive planning followed by production of laboratory manufactured removable radiopaque templates that are then used to assist in planning.\u00a0 Templates are used for 3-dimensional imaging.\u00a0 Such imaging is available here in NQ Surgical Dentistry and allows Dr Colin Priestland\u00a0 to accurately pre-plan surgery to ensure a high degree of predictability and success when replacing lost bone and soft tissues in the jaws.The course focused on the use of a variety of products from Geistlich including Bio-Oss bone grafting material, BioGide collagen membranes and other collagen-based grafting materials including Bio-Oss Collagen Block and Mucograft.\u00a0 In particular, the new YXOSS Customised Bone Regeneration (CBR) Titanium mesh template, was thoroughly discussed and it\u2019s use practiced on models.\u00a0 This new technique is now available in Australia.\u00a0 It offers surgeons an additional, reliable and accurate treatment option that adds to their armamentarium to regrow bone in severe bone defects that will ultimately support osseo-integrated dental Titanium implants that will support the new teeth as part of patient rehabilitation and reconstruction.YXOSS CBR is a custom-made, patient-specific, titanium mesh, computer-designed and manufactured for use with a combination of the patient\u2019s own bone chips (called autogenous bone) mixed with Bio-Oss graft material to reliably reconstruct the bone to a pre-planned size and contour.\u00a0 The technique is minimally invasive and generally does not require additional surgery at a second site to harvest bone.To obtain the YXOSS CBR custom device, the patient\u2019s cone beam volumetric tomography scan data is transferred to the manufacturer to enable them to produce the device and this is then sent to Dr Colin Priestland.Dr Colin Priestland has been using Geistlich Bio-Oss bone graft and Bio-Gide collagen membranes for many years along with newer products like Mucograft for the surgical enhancement of the soft tissues.\u00a0 These products are the result of many years of research and development on bone and connective tissue regeneration technology that takes place in Wolhusen, Switzerland in their research and development laboratories.Soft tissue surgical enhancement techniques were discussed extensively including the use of the patient\u2019s own sub-epithelial connective tissue autograft that can be obtained from either the palate or the posterior zone of the upper jaw.\u00a0 These autograft tissues remain the gold standard for the thickening of the soft tissues to allow surgeons to improve the soft tissue quality and quantity, increasing tissue thickness and resistance to inflammatory damage.\u00a0\u00a0 Being the patient\u2019s own tissue, the quantity available for harvesting can be very limited and therefore synthetic alternatives have been developed to improve patient care and clinical outcomes.It was an intensive day offering background science and hands-on practical training to enable those with extensive surgical experience in bone grafting surgery to offer this new, reliable and less invasive surgical protocol for the benefit of Australian patients.This treatment is available here in Townsville.\u00a0 It was a brilliant day and well worth the time taken to travel to Sydney for this training.\u00a0 Thank you Geistlich Australia Team and thank you Professor Paolo Casentini.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” admin_label=”Services” _builder_version=”3.22″
