In-Person & Remote

Course Description

This advanced course gathers some of the most recognized international leaders in the fields of bone and tissue regeneration to provide an immersive educational experience for clinicians. With a blend of in-depth lectures and hands-on workshops, the event offers participants the opportunity to learn about the latest techniques in vertical ridge augmentation, maxillary sinus augmentation and other regenerative procedures essential for achieving superior clinical outcomes.

Participants will not only gain insight into theoretical principles but also engage in practical, hands-on training designed to develop their surgical skills. Attendees will learn directly from experts about the application of Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) in treating complex cases, choosing between lateral and trans-crestal sinus approaches and optimizing results in vertical ridge deficiencies. The goal of the course is to help participants confidently handle challenging cases involving both hard and soft tissue regeneration.

This five-day event is ideal for implant dentists, periodontists, oral surgeons and other dental professionals seeking advanced clinical skills. The course will also cover key aspects of patient selection, case planning, management of complications and the integration of regenerative techniques into everyday practice to enhance patient outcomes.
