About This Course

Ideal implant site development begins with adequate bone volume and sound grafting technique. This course offers a comprehensive, hands-on approach to bone grafting and ridge augmentation through focused lecture and simulation using pig jaws and typodont models. Participants will perform socket grafting, ridge preservation, and augmentation procedures while reviewing biologic principles and material selection for consistent results. The program emphasizes clinical decision-making, material selection, and integration of biologics for healing. Designed for clinicians looking to strengthen their surgical foundation, this course provides practical, step-by-step methods for creating stable sites ready for implant placement.

Learning Objectives:

- Identify and label key surgical anatomy relevant to grafting and augmentation.
- Demonstrate incision, flap design, and suturing for predictable wound closure.
- Perform socket grafting and ridge preservation techniques using biomaterials.
- Evaluate grafting materials, membranes, and biologics for case selection.
- Explain healing biology and the role of growth factors in predictable outcomes.
- Apply learned protocols to improve site development and implant readiness.
