Reconstruction (includes Bone and Biomaterials and Soft Tissue)

SS14 - Maxillofacial Tissue Engineering 101: From Pediatrics to Geriatrics, Optimizing Regenerative Surgical Techniques

Saturday, September 23, 2023
11:10 AM – 12:00 PM PDT
Location: Room 32A, San Diego Convention Center

With the advancements made in regenerative medicine, tissue-engineered bone grafts have made the reconstruction of defects of the oral and maxillofacial region predictable and reliable without the need for harvesting autogenous bone. Long-term clinical studies have shown this mixture to be equivalent to or superior to avascular autogenous bone graft. This session will give a brief synopsis of the preoperative workup, preparation and procedural options for patients with congenital defects, benign tumors, post-resection defects and traumas. In addition, the speakers will briefly review initial evaluation, patient selection and state-of-the-art science regarding growth factors and autogenous bone substitutes. Emphasis will be placed on surgical technique, postoperative care and management of complications.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
  1. Evaluate patients for grafts best suited for their defects (avascular bone vs. tissue engineered allogenic bone vs. microvascular free flap).
  2. Discuss the science behind bone grafts and tissue-engineering reconstruction specifically for the maxillofacial region.
  3. Review surgical technique and management of complications.
