The bone & tissue day Singapore 2024 took place as a parallel session to the main program on Friday the 10th. The bone & tissue day consisted of two sessions, the first one moderated by Dr. Maja Chmielewska and the second by Dr. Larissa Steigmann. In each session, three speakers presented their corresponding topics followed by a panel discussion.

The second session focused on challenging autogenous bone as the Gold Standard in bone augmentation and the speakers were Dr. Frank Kloss, Dr. Algirdas Puisys and Dr. Jochen Tunkel. After presenting various techniques ranging from block grafting, shell technique as well as particulate bone grafting, the panel came to the conclusion that for mayor bone augmentation with maxgraft® blocks, maxgraft® cortico or maxgraft® granules is as predictable as autologous bone grafting in most indications, but that at least a small amount of autogenous bone is needed to enhance the biological potential. However, the extend of harvested bone can be significantly reduced to chips from the primary surgical site without jeopardizing the treatment outcome in such applications, largely contributing to a more patient oriented treatment concept.
