A "Plaha"-ism: Attention to details is the difference between a somebody and a nobody.
Mr. Harbhajan Plaha - a consultant orthopaedic surgeon of unmatched skills - enlightened the group about the principles of surgery. He spoke about attention to detail to ensure atraumatic surgery and uneventful healing. He was speaking to the PID-Academy (UK) group in Wakefield about extraoral donor sites and the merits of each. The availability of substantial quantities of autogenous bone provides opportunities for the reconstruction of jaws using the "gold-standard" grafting material. Gold-standard, because the patient's own bone has ideal qualities. These are osteogenesis - cells to be able to create bone, osteoconductivity - scaffolding for the growth of bone, and osteoinductivity - cytokine switches, that turn on the cells to produce bone.
Fundamental knowledge such as this is an essential part of sound dental implant education and enlightens practitioner so that they can refer their patients to specialised treatment centres for treatment in the patient's best interest.
Mr. Plaha has worked intimately with Ashok Sethi at the Centre for Implant and Reconstructive Dentistry at 33 Harley Street in London UK providing extensive bone grafts to restore the lives of patients. This allows treatment of severely resorbed jaws and brings back function and aesthetics with fixed dental implant supported teeth.
