Learn the Khoury technique from the original source, Dr Thomas Hanser, clinic partner with Prof. Fouad Khoury, and co-author of the best selling Quintessence textbooks: Bone and Soft Tissue Augmentation in Oral Implantology. Dr Thomas Hanser is renowned worldwide for being at the forefront of Bone Grafting and Aesthetic Implant Surgery.
This 2 day hands-on course on Autogenous Bone Augmentation covers the Split-Bone Block Technique (also known as Khoury technique or Biological Bone Augmentation), the autogenous minimally invasive Bone Core Technique and associated Soft Tissue Management.
Master the gold standard in reconstructive surgery for reliable, predictable and successful outcomes with fewer complications.
What will you learn
- Split-Bone Block Technique (Khoury technique)
- autogenous minimally invasive Bone Core Technique
- 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.
This course covers the aesthetic, functional, and protective aspects of soft tissue management across all stages of implant therapy, including tooth extraction, implant placement, bone grafting, second stage surgery, and prosthetic rehabilitation. These techniques improve the quality and quantity of soft tissue.
Learn how soft tissue grafts, minimally invasive approaches, and tension-free soft tissue closure play a crucial role in reducing complications and achieving long-term tissue stability in 3D reconstruction procedures.
