Objective
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to
plan and execute vertical and horizontal bone
augmentation with confidence – selecting appropriate
biomaterials and antibiotic regimens, applying PRF
protocols, and managing soft tissue to achieve
predictable, reproducible surgical outcomes.
Theoretical Program
The predictability of guided bone regeneration is no
longer solely a matter of surgical technique – it is
deeply rooted in biology. How a graft heals depends
on the wound environment it is placed into, and that
environment is shaped by decisions the surgeon
makes: biomaterial selection, antibiotic strategy,
handling of the blood clot, and management of the
overlying tissues. This course translates that biology into actionable clinical protocols, integrating PRF
applications and evidence-based biomaterial choices
into a coherent surgical workflow. Combined with a
comprehensive approach to soft tissue management
— from the first incision to the last suture —
participants will leave equipped to achieve consistent,
predictable results across a wide range of clinical
scenarios.
