EM Academy

Dr Moussa obtained his Bachelors degree in dentistry from Alexandria University, Egypt in 2009.

Our mission is to aid clinicians on their journey to master regenerative and dental implant surgery through innovative, generous content that’s presented in a clear step-by-step approach. He then joined his father in a specialty practice with a focus on dental implant rehabilitation. In 2012 Dr Moussa started a fellowship program in periodontics at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in Cleveland, Ohio. He then persued a Masters degree in periodontics and joined the residency program at CWRU. Recognizing the importance of a sound understanding of prosthodontics in a surgical practice, Dr Moussa joined the fellowship program at Louisiana State University in New Orleans, Louisiana. He currently maintains a full time position at LSU with focus on complex restorative dental implant treatment. He also maintains a part time private practice position at The Perioclinic. Dr Moussa has lectured nationally and internationally on topics that include; Hard and soft tissue augmentation around implants, perio-plastic surgery, immediate implants, osseodensification and crown lengthening.

⭕️ LINGUAL BONE AUGMENTATION ⭕️
In my opinion, guided home regeneration (GBR) is challenging to perform on the lingual aspect. This can be due to several challenges including:
🛑 Difficult access
🛑 Neurovascular structures
🛑 Difficult graft containment
Today I’m posting two cases that show vertical and horizontal GBR on the LINGUAL aspect in the anterior mandible.
Here are some keys that have improved my success in lingual GBR.
🛑 Limited flap reflection and muscle detachment on the lingual aspect
🛑 Using a double layer collagen membrane that completely contains the lingual graft
🛑 Buccal collagen membrane then extends and overlaps the lingual membrane
🛑 And as always, stabilization of the entire graft/membrane complex
With that being said, this is a challenging technique and should be attempted by only clinicians who are thoroughly familiar with LINGUAL FLAP MANAGEMENT.
Hope everyone is having a good week !

⭕️ My idea of a HAPPY FRIDAY 😊 ⭕️
3D defect in the posterior mandible.
Treated with a KHOURY PLATE horizontal augmentation 4 months ago.
Today was the re-entry with solid bone quantity and quality.
Placed two 8.5mm implants to restore the site.
Next, up soft tissue management.
Wishing everyone a great weekend ahead 😊

⭕️ Mandibular FULL ARCH SOFT TISSUE defects ⭕️
One of the challenges of mandibular full arch therapy is KERATINIZED TISSUE DEFICIENCY. Especially when complicated with the presence of failing implants in redo cases.

DECISION MAKING becomes critical in these cases.

How can we accomplish the treatment goals while minimizing the number of procedures the patient has to endure.

Here’s what we did here:
1️⃣ Utilizing a full-partial thickness flap to expose the failed implants and provide a bed for an FGG
2️⃣ Old implants removed
3️⃣ FGG utilized in the anterior mandible to increase the width of KG
4️⃣ Few weeks later we utilize apically positioned flaps to expose the bone and reposition KG
5️⃣ Implants and MUAs placed
6️⃣ KG flaps tailored to fit around MUAs and sutured in place
7️⃣ Photos show healing after temp removal at 10 weeks
Proper DECISION MAKING & SEQUENCING allowed us to repair this case efficiently in two surgeries.
Hope everyone is having a great week 😊

⭕️ SOFT TISSUE management for ZYGOS ⭕️
This patient presented with a SOFT TISSUE DEFECT around a ZYGOMATIC IMPLANT previously placed by my self. Even though I had used buccal fat, patient still developed recession, loss of attached tissue, and vestibular depth.
Here’s what we did to manage this complication.
1️⃣ Lateral sliding flap preparation
2️⃣ Bed preparation for lateral sliding flap
3️⃣ Rotated palatal pedicle used to cover exposed implant surface
4️⃣ Lateral sliding flap sutured over the palatal pedicle
5️⃣ photos show healing at 4 weeks post-op
In my humble opinion…once you understand SOFT TISSUE and its basic principles. The concepts can be adapted to different clinical scenarios including zygomatic implants.

Happy Sunday y’all
Class 3 Miller GINGIVAL RECESSION affecting the upper left quadrant.
Utilized a coronally advanced flap procedure (CAF) combined with a connective tissue graft (CTG).
Photos show healing at 15 days post-op.
TISSUE IS THE ISSUE 🙌
Have a great week

⭕️ Internal Vs External BONE AUGMENTATION ⭕️
Happy Friday my friends,
When it comes to BONE GRAFTING, we all tend to focus on the MATERIALS & TECHNIQUE. While in reality the DIAGNOSTICS & DEFECT MORPHOLOGY may make or break our procedure.
This patient presented with a vertical root fracture on the upper left canine with complete buccal bone dehiscence.
Here’s what we did:
1️⃣ Full tooth extraction
2️⃣ Implant placement engaging the palatal bone and keeping the implant within the confines of the alveolar housing
3️⃣ Implant is completely exposed on the buccal but in a subcrestal position palatally
4️⃣ GBR using FDBA and a properly stabilized collagen membrane using vertical and horizontal strapping sutures
5️⃣ Flap advancement and primary closure
In essence, we are much more successful in building bone internal to the confines of the alveolar than external to it. Especially when utilizing restorable membranes.
Hoping everyone has a great weekend ahead 😊🙏

⭕️ HAPPY NEW YEAR MY FRIENDS ⭕️
Management of a FAILING IMPLANT case utilizing implant removal, followed by EARLY PLACEMENT and SIMULTANEOUS GBR. Here’s what we did:
1️⃣ Removal of failed implants and flap approximation
2️⃣ Soft tissue healing at 6-8 weeks post-op
3️⃣ Implant placement with simultaneous GBR using FDBA covered with a collagen membrane stabilized with Glycolon sutures
4️⃣ Flap advancement and double layer closure
Next step will be second stage surgery with an apically positioned flap (APF) at 5 months.
Hoping everyone is having a great start to the year 😊🙏
