Join this 2-day hands-on course covering the Split-Bone Block Technique (Khoury Technique) and the Minimally Invasive Bone Core Technique, alongside essential Soft Tissue Management.
Learn directly from Dr. Thomas Hanser, clinic partner with Prof. Fouad Khoury, and co-author of the best-selling Bone and Soft Tissue Augmentation in Oral Implantology.
A world-renowned expert in Bone Grafting & Aesthetic Implant Surgery, Dr. Hanser will guide you through proven techniques for predictable, long-term success with fewer complications.
Don’t miss this opportunity to master the gold standard in reconstructive surgery!
What will you learn
- Split-Bone Block Technique (Khoury technique)
- Autogenous minimally invasive Bone Core Technique: Ideal for small-to-moderate bone defects in GBR, ridge augmentation & sinus lifts
- Safe bone harvesting & optimisation of the bone
- Horizontal & vertical bone augmentation
- Successful Sinus lift in case of severe alveolar atrophy
- Soft Tissue Management: Critical for graft success & long-term stability
Soft Tissue Management in bone grafting
According to Prof. Khoury, successful bone augmentation depends on impeccable soft tissue management.
This course covers the aesthetic, functional, and protective aspects of soft tissue handling throughout implant therapy—from tooth extraction and bone grafting to implant placement, second-stage surgery, and prosthetic rehabilitation.
Learn how soft tissue grafts, minimally invasive techniques, and tension-free closure are essential for reducing complications and ensuring long-term tissue stability in 3D reconstruction procedures.
