Faculty of Dentistry Holds a Seminar on “Latest Advances in Bone and Soft Tissue Regeneration”

On February 26-27, 2025, the Faculty of Dentistry, in collaboration with Medent Medical Equipment Co., Ltd and the Nobel Biocare brand, organized the seminar “Latest Advances in Bone and Soft Tissue Regeneration”. The event featured high-quality scientific presentations aimed at enhancing the professional expertise of dental specialists in the field of implantology.

The seminar brought together leading experts in dentistry currently working and teaching at the Faculty of Dentistry, Van Lang University; the Faculty of Dentistry, Hong Bang International University; the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City; Ho Chi Minh City Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology; and the National Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology… 

In the opening session of the seminar, Dr. Vo Van Nhan – Head of the Department of Dental Implantology, Hong Bang International University; Dr. Tran Hung Lam – Vice Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, Van Lang University; and Dr. Pham Hoai Nam – Head of the Department of Periodontology and Implantology, Van Lang University, delivered presentations on:

• Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) Techniques
• Selection of Graft Materials for Guided Bone Regeneration
• Soft Tissue Management in Guided Bone Regeneration

The subsequent session focused on groundbreaking advancements in bone and soft tissue regeneration surgery. Professor Istvan Urban, a world-renowned expert in bone and soft tissue regeneration, introduced the Sausage Bone Graft Technique, which offers two key advantages:

• A minimally invasive approach that combines autogenous bone and xenografts to optimize bone quality and improve treatment outcomes.
• The use of synthetic membranes to regulate soft tissue development, create a favorable environment for bone regeneration, and minimize postoperative complications.

The Sausage Bone Graft Technique has demonstrated outstanding effectiveness in restoring jawbone defects, particularly in cases of bone resorption due to peri-implantitis. The use of synthetic membranes ensures high biocompatibility and plays a crucial role in securing graft materials, facilitating stable and effective new bone formation around dental implants.

The seminar “Latest Advances in Bone and Soft Tissue Regeneration” concluded successfully. Over 400 implant specialists gained in-depth insights into the bone grafting procedure and engaged in direct discussions with leading experts at Van Lang University.
