A 2 day hands-on course covering Autogenous Bone Augmentation (also known as Khoury technique or Biological Bone Augmentation) and associated Soft Tissue Management.
Master the gold standard in reconstructive surgery for reliable, predictable and successful outcomes with fewer complications.
Learn the Khoury technique from the original source, Dr Thomas Hanser, clinic partners with Prof. Fouad Khoury, and Co-Authors of the best selling Quintessence textbooks: Bone and Soft Tissue Augmentation in Oral Implantology. Dr Thomas Hanser is known worldwide as being at the forefront of Bone Grafting and Aesthetic Implant Surgery.
What will you learn
- safe bone block harvesting
- preparation and optimisation of the bone
- horizontal & vertical bone augmentation
- successful sinus lifting in case of severe alveolar atrophy
- soft tissue management in bone grafting
Soft Tissue Management in bone grafting
According to Prof. Khoury, successful bone augmentation requires impeccable soft tissue management.
Aesthetic, functional and protective aspects of soft tissue management in context of all stages of implant therapy: tooth extraction, implant placement, bone grafting, second stage surgery and prosthetic rehabilitation to improve the soft tissue quality and quantity.
Learn how soft tissue grafts, minimally invasive approaches, and tension-free soft tissue closure are playing an important role to reduce complications and to achieve long-term tissue stability in 3D reconstruction procedures.
