Course Overview:

This course is designed for dentists who are already capable of placing implants and would like to enhance their skills.
This course will teach you how to improve your skills in horizontal and vertical bone augmentation and soft tissue surgical work.
The duration of this course is 2 days, both of which include lectures and hands-on exercises. A further 2 day course is also available.

This course will give you an understanding of bone and soft tissue defects and how to treat them according to the size of the defect. You will also learn the different types of biomaterial and which is best to use in different situations; bone harvesting techniques and connective tissue harvesting techniques.

We will also cover flap design; tension free flap closure, lingual flap advancement, and periosteal advancement.

Aims & Objectives:

- Understand the biology and type of defect Understand the anatomy of the surgical area understand the biology and use of biomaterials.

- Learn the surgical principles of both horizontal and vertical bone augmentation.

- Learn surgical principles of soft tissue reconstruction to increase keratinised tissue around implants and newly generated bone.
