A guest lecture was conducted for the postgraduate students of the Department of Periodontology, delivered by Dr. Vijendra Singh, an esteemed alumnus (UG 1999 &PG 2007) of the institution. The session focused on the topic of "Bone Grafting for Implantology: Current Concepts," providing an insightful overview of advancements in the field.

Dr. Singh began the session by emphasizing the importance of bone grafting in implantology, particularly in cases of inadequate alveolar bone volume. He elaborated on the various types of bone graft materials, including autografts, allografts, xenografts, and alloplasts, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and indications.

The lecture also covered cutting-edge techniques and approaches, such as guided bone regeneration (GBR), ridge augmentation, and sinus lift procedures. Dr. Singh discussed the criteria for selecting appropriate grafting materials and techniques based on individual patient requirements and clinical scenarios.

Dr. Singh presented clinical case studies to illustrate the successful application of these techniques and their outcomes, which fostered a better understanding of the practical aspects of bone grafting.

The session concluded with an interactive Q&A segment, where postgraduate students actively engaged with Dr. Singh to clarify their doubts and discuss clinical challenges. Dr. Singh’s expertise and practical insights left a lasting impression, inspiring the participants to adopt evidence-based approaches in their future practice.

Overall, the lecture served as an excellent platform for knowledge exchange, bridging academic concepts with clinical applications. The Department of Periodontology extends its gratitude to Dr. Vijendra Singh for his valuable contribution to postgraduate education.
