Learn the Khoury technique from the original source, Dr Thomas Hanser, clinic partner with Prof. Fouad Khoury.

This 2 day hands-on course covers 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 predictable bone block harvesting, preparation and optimisation of the bone, horizontal & vertical bone augmentation techniques and soft tissue management in bone grafting.

Event Content

I. DAY 1.
ADVANCED AUTOGENOUS BONE BLOCK GRAFTING

Lecture & Hands-on:
-biological and clinical factors that contribute to successful bone transplant healing in horizontal and vertical alveolar reconstructions
-clinical management and understanding of biological factors that influence aesthetic and long-term hard and soft tissue stability
- diagnostic and treatment planning

Hands-on training on sheep jaws:
-safe retro-molar bone block harvesting
-successful bone graft stabilisation
-predictable, long term results in horizontal and vertical bone augmentation
-successful sinus lifting in case of severe alveolar atrophy

II. DAY 2.
SOFT TISSUE MANAGEMENT IN REGENERATIVE IMPLANT THERAPY

Lecture&hands-on
The participants will practice on sheep jaws:

I. Aesthetic soft tissue management:
-soft tissue graft harvesting and augmentation techniques
-socket preservation
-free and pedicle sub-epithelial connective tissue grafting to contour missing
-volume in the aesthetic zone
-tunneling technique
-handling gingival recession
-flap designs and different techniques for second stage sur-gery
-papilla reconstruction
-analysing and correction of implant failures

II. Functional soft tissue management:
-creating fixed and keratinised peri-implant soft tissue
-vestibuloplasty
-free gingival graft
-stabilising peri-implant soft tissue techniques

III. Protective soft tissue management:
-innovative techniques and flap designs for soft tissue closure to avoid postoperative complications and exposure of the grafted bone and soft tissue in lateral and vertical grafting procedures
-tension free wound closure
-tunneling technique
-suture techniques

Benefits

-Learn safe techniques of extracting bone blocks from the molar area.
-Understand the methods of collection, preparation and optimisation of autologous grafts.
-Familiarise yourself with the principles of the Khoury technique
-Get a better understanding of predictable, long-term and stable horizontal and vertical bone block augmentation.
-Explore innovative techniques for closing soft tissues at the site of augmentation in order to avoid postoperative complications.
