Grafting, transplantation, and predictable soft tissue outcomes

Successful implant treatment often depends on precise bone grafting, thoughtful soft tissue management and evidence-based surgical planning. As implant dentistry continues to advance, clinicians need a strong understanding of biologic principles, minimally invasive techniques and predictable treatment workflows for cases ranging from minor defects to complex 3D reconstructions.

This intensive two-day course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive look at current concepts in bone grafting procedures, soft tissue management and accelerated implant treatment. Led by Prof. Dr. Fouad Khoury, the program will explore the principles of grafting, bone transplantation, treatment planning, esthetic considerations and the management of both hard and soft tissue challenges in implantology.

Through lectures, video demonstrations, discussion and hands-on training, participants will review minimally invasive bone augmentation techniques, safe intraoral bone harvesting, the Split Bone Block (Khoury) technique, lateral and vertical bone augmentation, sinus floor elevation, flap design and complication management. The hands-on portion will allow participants to practice key surgical concepts on animal and dry mandibles, helping translate evidence-based knowledge into practical clinical skill.
