Guardians of the Graft: Winning the War After Implant Surgery
Event Details
Successful implant therapy does not end when the sutures are placed. In many procedures—including All-on-X treatment, socket grafting, and soft tissue grafting—clinicians intentionally create environments that heal by secondary intention. These exposed or partially exposed surgical sites require thoughtful post-operative management to support biologic healing, minimize discomfort, and reduce early biofilm disruption during the critical healing window.
This lecture explores the biologic sequence of wound healing following implant and graft procedures and examines how post-operative protocols can influence tissue response. Participants will review the effects of commonly used antimicrobial rinses on soft tissue healing and consider the role of coating-based, tissue-compatible rinses in protecting vulnerable surgical sites. Through clinical case examples and practical workflows, attendees will gain strategies to enhance patient comfort, improve compliance, and support predictable healing outcomes in modern implant therapy.
By attending this webinar you will learn how to:
-
Describe the biologic timeline and characteristics of secondary intention healing following implant and graft procedures.
-
Discuss the impact of commonly prescribed post-operative antimicrobial rinses on fibroblast activity and epithelial maturation.
-
Implement a structured post-operative protection protocol for exposed surgical sites in All-on-X therapy, socket grafting, and soft tissue graft procedures.

Author Bio
Dr. Sausha Toghranegar
Dr. Sausha Toghranegar is originally from Tampa, FL where he attended the Hillsborough High School International Baccalaureate program. After high school, he began his collegiate journey at the University of Florida (Go Gators!). He graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in microbiology and minors in Nutritional Sciences and Theater. His passion for dentistry brought him to Nova Southeastern University where he obtained his doctorate. He then continued at Nova to pursue his master's degree and complete his periodontal residency. Dr. Sausha has received multiple honors throughout his educational career, including induction into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon honorary dental society. After his educational career, Dr. Sausha returned to his hometown to bring back the knowledge and skills he obtained to provide the best care possible to those in his community. Dr. Sausha remains active in his educational endeavors and remains on top of the progressive trends of periodontal procedures and dental technology. He has lectured locally and nationally on minimally invasive periodontal plastic surgery, accelerated orthodontics, digital dental planning, and the latest dental implant technology. With the use of digital technology and 3D printing, Dr. Sausha has been providing customized dental Implant treatment. This allows him to provide the care each patient personally needs. He has also researched and lectured on a new minimally invasive approach to speeding the movement of teeth and preventing possible gum tissue problems that can sometimes occur after having braces. Research has shown a 2-3 times faster treatment time with the use of these techniques. Dr. Sausha firmly believes in giving back to a community that has given to him. He volunteers throughout the Tampa Bay area and abroad providing dental care in such places as Jamaica and Bolivia Outside of dentistry, Dr. Sausha is an avid independent filmmaker. Ever since he was in elementary school, he has been creating movie magic. He also loves following, watching, and playing sports. He passionately follows the Buccaneers, Gators, Lighting, Rays, and as of late the Rowdies. On his free time, he especially enjoys traveling and exploring nature with his family and friends.
