EM Academy Dr Moussa obtained his Bachelors degree in dentistry from Alexandria University, Egypt in 2009.
(1)

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.

⭕️ 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 😊🙏

⭕️ Happy Monday my friends ⭕️
Sharing a bread and butter SOCKETSHIELD case today.
When it comes to preparation and armamentarium, I don’t find conventional burs only to be sufficient. Here you see me incorporating a few drills from the PET kit that was designed by
I find these drills to be very useful especially in teeth that have longer roots.
Photos show up to provisional removal at 3 months. Notice COMPLETE maintenance of ridge form.

⭕️ PRESERVATION meets REGENERATION ⭕️
Here’s a case back from 2017 that portrays exactly what it means to incorporate both treatment philosophies in patient care.
Patient presented back in 2017 with a vertical root fracture on the palatal aspect.
Case was managed using a SOCKET SHIELD and palatal GBR using a PTFE membrane.
Photos are self explanatory showing the steps of treatment.
Last photo shows an 8.5 YEAR FOLLOW-U.
MORAL OF THE STORY - PARTIAL EXTRACTION THERAPY (PET) IS TRULY THE GOLD STANDARD, IMHO.
Hope everyone is having a good week so far 🙏

⭕️ Managing IMPLANT PROXIMITY ISSUES using SOCKET SHIELD procedure ⭕️
Happy Friday friends 🙏
This patient presented with a failing right central incisor. Right lateral incisor is an implant that is oversized and misplaced too close to the central. Case managed with:
1️⃣ Partial extraction therapy to maintain a C shaped Socket Shield
2️⃣ Immediate implant placement aiming to position osteotomy away from existing implant in the lateral incisor
3️⃣ Immediate loading and provisional to maintain soft tissue contours
Photo show final soft tissue healing and restoration. Notice maintenance is INTER-IMPLANT PAPILLA AND BONE which is crucial for an esthetic result.

⭕️Stage one for this esthetic zone reconstruction⭕️
Patient presents with a moderate/severe HORIZONTAL RIDGE DEFICIENCY. Case managed with a GBR approach using FDBA covered with a collagen membrane stabilized with Glycolon sutures.
This is all then wrapped up with PRF.
Photos show re-entry at 6 months showing horizontal bone gain and implant placement.
Next up..soft tissue management at second stage surgery.
Happy Friday y’all✌️

⭕️ The stages of SOFT TISSUE MANAGEMENT in the ESTHETIC ZONE ⭕️
IMHO, the ROTATED PALATAL PEDICLE is one of the most predictable and versatile techniques to use in the anterior maxilla.
1️⃣ Palatal pedicle for GBR coverage and tissue augmentation
2️⃣ Implant placement + palatal pedicle for vertical and horizontal tissue augmentation
3️⃣ Frenectomy + punch exposure
4️⃣ Provisionalization
Have a nice Monday ✌️
