Led by Dr. Thomas Hanser, world-renowned expert and clinic partner of Prof. Khoury, the program emphasizes surgical protocols, tension-free closure, and long-term tissue stability, empowering clinicians to master the gold standard in bone grafting with confidence and predictability.

This 2-day course offers an in-depth, hands-on approach to autogenous bone augmentation and associated soft tissue management through real clinical case presentations and step-by-step surgical training. Participants will explore minimally invasive bone harvesting techniques, predictable horizontal and vertical augmentation, sinus floor elevation in severely atrophic cases, and associated soft tissue handling based on the principles of Prof. Fouad Khoury.

Event Content

PART 1: AUTOGENOUS BONE AUGMENTATION
LECTURE & HANDS-ON

- Key biological & clinical factors for successful bone transplant healing in horizontal & vertical alveolar reconstruction
- Clinical management & biological principles for long-term hard & soft tissue stability – explained through real clinical cases & videos
- Comprehensive diagnostic & treatment planning for predictable outcomes
- Trephine Minimally Invasive Bone Core Technique: Ideal for small-to-moderate bone defects in GBR procedures, Ridge augmentation, Sinus lift.
- Khoury Split Bone Block Technique: for Vertical and horizontal bone augmentation in implant sites. Maintains cortical and cancellous bone structure for better stability.

Hands-on training:
- safe bone harvesting
- successful bone graft stabilisation
- predictable, long term results in horizontal and vertical bone augmentation
- successful sinus lift in case of severe alveolar atrophy

PART 2: SOFT TISSUE MANAGEMENT IN REGENERATIVE IMPLANT THERAPY
LECTURE & HANDS-ON

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
- innovative flap designs and different techniques for second stage surgery
- papilla reconstruction
- analysing and correction of implant failures

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