Master Hard Tissue Management – Elevate Your Surgical Expertise!

Refine your surgical skills and set new standards in implant and prosthetic rehabilitation with this exclusive masterclass!

Successful bone management requires a deep understanding of biologic healing principles, precise augmentation techniques, and innovative surgical protocols. This intensive course will equip you with cutting-edge strategies to optimize post-extraction site management, enhance bone volume, and achieve superior long-term success.

Learn how to confidently perform horizontal and vertical bone augmentation, master the socket-shield technique, and apply the latest approaches to ensure predictable, high-quality clinical results.

Join this hands-on experience and develop the expertise to execute guided bone regeneration (GBR), ridge preservation, and advanced implant placement techniques while reducing treatment time and surgical interventions. Gain practical skills with pig jaw models and enhance your precision in bone regeneration.

Enhance your expertise, deepen your understanding, and transform your clinical practice with the mentorship of these world-renowned specialists.

Advanced Hard Tissue Management: A Modern and Predictable Approach

Explore the most innovative techniques to optimize implant-supported rehabilitation through a biology-driven, precision-based, and technology-enhanced approach. This course guides you through every essential step, from post-extraction site management and bone augmentation to advanced guided regeneration techniques. Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) provides effective solutions for horizontal and vertical augmentation, utilizing state-of-the-art membranes and biomaterials to ensure optimal bone volume before implant placement. The socket-shield technique allows the preservation of the buccal root fragment, maintaining bone contour and achieving superior esthetic outcomes. Innovative approaches to vertical bone augmentation will be explored, focusing on minimizing surgical stages and reducing treatment time.

Gain hands-on experience in a controlled environment with pig jaw model exercises, refining your surgical skills for predictable and long-lasting clinical success.

What will you get from this course?

  • Understand the biological principles of guided bone regeneration
  • Compare the use of resorbable vs. non-resorbable membranes
  • Learn flap passivation strategies for optimal regeneration
  • Practice advanced membrane fixation techniques and graft material selection
  • Discover effective sealing methods for long-term GBR success
  • Participate in hands-on sessions for direct application of surgical techniques
  • Receive an internationally recognized certificate of attendance

Prof. Hom-Lay Wang

Bone grafting, whether horizontal or vertical, has become a cornerstone of modern dentistry. This lecture will explore proven techniques for bone augmentation, including guided bone regeneration using diverse materials and bone replacement grafts, as well as mucosal detachment for optimal tissue adaptation. A key focus will be on the essential principles required for successful bone augmentation, summarized by the PASS principle: Primary wound closure, Angiogenesis, Space maintenance, and Stability.

Prof. Markus Hurzeler

This module will explore the latest biological and mechanical insights into the Socket Shield Technique, providing a step-by-step clinical procedure and showcasing long-term clinical cases.

Additionally, the approach to vertical bone augmentation must be reconsidered in light of patient expectations. Many patients currently face treatment times of up to two years, undergoing four to five surgeries. In this context, we believe these concepts should be critically re-evaluated:


- Are there possibilities to shorten treatment times?
- Can we reduce the number of surgical interventions without compromising outcomes?

New strategies to address these challenges will be presented, alongside advancements in soft tissue management for vertical augmentation, with a special focus on Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs). Given the importance of extensive soft tissue mobilization for vertical augmentation, we will also discuss ways to minimize morbidity and postoperative swelling, ensuring a more predictable and patient-friendly approach.

Hurzeler

Prof. Nikos Mardas

Following tooth extraction, a well-described process of wound healing results in an extensive three-dimensional bone resorption of the alveolar ridge that present a significant problem for later prosthetic reconstruction either with a conventional bridge or an implant-supported crown. Modern diagnostic techniques and scientific evidence allow the reconstructive dentist to estimate the amount of post extraction resorption and select the most appropriate clinical management for the post extraction site including immediate implant placement, ridge preservation with delayed implant placement or delayed implant placement with simultaneous lateral augmentation.
