Description

Bone augmentation is often necessary to ensure proper implant placement in the prosthetic ideal position. Among the various techniques available, the shell technique developed by Prof. Khoury has become a widely accepted standard in bone augmentation. Recent advancements, including augmentative relining and the use of allogeneic bone plates, have further improved outcomes and reduced patient morbidity. This course provides an in-depth exploration of both autologous and allogeneic approaches to bone grafting, addressing critical questions such as the role of autologous bone as the gold standard, the effectiveness and safety of allogeneic bone replacement materials, and the essential surgical prerequisites for success. Through clinical case studies, video demonstrations, and hands-on exercises with models and pig jaws, participants will develop a comprehensive understanding of the instruments, materials, and techniques required for successful bone augmentation and soft tissue management.
