Webinar Course Description:

This webinar provides participants with an evidence-based overview of biologic agents for periodontal and peri-implant regeneration. The course will review the biologic principles of wound healing and tissue regeneration and examine currently available biologic materials, including platelet concentrates, enamel matrix derivatives, growth factors, and soft tissue biologics. Emphasis will be placed on the clinical application of these materials to manage periodontal defects, gingival recession, ridge preservation, implant site development, and peri-implant tissue regeneration. Clinical case presentations and a review of current literature will be included to enhance participants’ understanding of appropriate case selection, surgical considerations, and techniques for achieving predictable clinical outcomes.

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:

• Review the biological principles underlying periodontal and peri-implant wound healing and tissue regeneration.
• Identify commonly used biologic agents and discuss their indications, advantages, and limitations in clinical practice.
• Discuss evidence-based applications of biologic materials for periodontal regeneration, soft-tissue grafting, and peri-implant therapy.
• Evaluate clinical decision-making processes and treatment planning considerations for regenerative periodontal and implant procedures.
