Mastering Advanced Bone Regeneration for Predictable Implant Success (September 19–20, 2026)

In-Person & Remote | 16 CE Units

Course Description

Patients with atrophic alveolar bone present with a wide range of clinical scenarios, including vertical vs. horizontal deficiencies, defect morphology variations, and bone density differences. These factors influence the predictability of bone augmentation procedures.

Successful 3D reconstruction requires five essential components: bone substitutes, osteogenic cells, growth factors, adequate blood supply, and wound stability. This course highlights evidence-based strategies and protocols to maximize predictability and minimize complications in bone regeneration.

Educational Objectives
