- tension free wound closure
- suture techniques
▼ Hands-On Training
Step-by-step hands-on training on animal jaws and models
- Harvesting bone blocks and bone chips
- Performing the Khoury Split Bone Block Technique
- Splitting and preparing the cortical bone block
- Adapting and fixing the bone block to the recipient site
- Performing the Trephine Bone Core Technique

▼ Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
✔ Perform predictable bone harvesting techniques for autogenous graft procedures.
✔ Understand the principles of autologous bone graft collection, preparation, and optimisation to maximise regenerative outcomes.
✔ Apply the principles of the Khoury Split Bone Block Technique and Minimally Invasive Bone Core Technique in clinical scenarios.
✔ Plan and execute predictable horizontal and vertical bone augmentation procedures with a focus on long-term stability and implant success.
✔ Manage soft tissue effectively around augmentation sites, using innovative flap designs and closure techniques to minimise postoperative complications and enhance regenerative stability.
✔ Improve decision-making in complex implant cases through evidence-based treatment planning and biological principles of regeneration.
”Dr Hanser covered the principles of autogenous bone augmentation in a clear and practical way. The hands-on training was particularly valuable, giving us plenty of opportunity to practise the techniques and gain more confidence in applying them clinically.”

Why Choose Autogenous Bone?
Safe, predictable regeneration with unmatched biological potential.
Autogenous bone combines unmatched biological potential with predictable clinical outcomes. Harvested intraorally, it eliminates the need for biomaterials while promoting natural healing, long-term stability, and efficient treatment.
Key Benefits
✔ 100% Biocompatible
No foreign body reaction or risk of immunological rejection.
✔ Superior Regenerative Potential
Provides osteogenic, osteoinductive, and osteoconductive properties for predictable healing.
✔ Readily Available & Cost-Free
Harvested directly from the patient, eliminating material costs.
✔ Minimally Invasive Harvesting
Techniques utilize intraoral donor sites – often the implant site itself-reducing surgical morbidity.
✔ Stable Long-Term Results
Supports the formation of vital, immunocompetent bone with excellent long-term volume stability.
✔ Improved Patient Outcomes
Fewer complications, and highly aesthetic regenerative results.
