Workshop Abstract
Vertical and horizontal augmentation presents one of the greatest challenges of bone regeneration in implant dentistry. This is primarily due to the difficulty of the surgical procedure and its potential complications.
These complications include post-surgical swelling, bruising, and potential neurosensory disturbances. Minimally invasive flap management that can minimize the chances of these complications will be revealed during this hands-on course. Graft harvesting, membrane fixation for vertical augmentation as well as for the Sausage Technique TM will be practiced.
A step by step approach how to protect the neurovascular bundles such as the mental nerve and to achieve a safe, tension free closure will be learned during this practical course.
Learning objectives:
1. Understand the surgical anatomy of the floor of the mouth
2. Learn the surgical principles of ridge augmentation surgery
3. Learn the tension free closure of the flaps after vertical ridge augmentation
4. Learn soft tissue reconstructions after ridge augmentation

“The devil hides in the details!
We have discovered that developing minimally invasive regenerative techniques leads to favourable long-term clinical outcomes. I have a passion for sharing those important surgical details, the science behind all the innovation and the long-term follow-up of the cases that puts all details to a credible prospective.
I would like to invite you to join our course where we honestly discuss the realities of hard and soft tissue regeneration."
