2-DAY WORKSHOP
Advanced Bone Augmentation Techniques & Clinical Practice Workshop
Welcome to our Advanced Bone Augmentation Techniques & Clinical Practice Workshop! This intensive 2-day workshop is tailored for oral surgeons and implantologists seeking to enhance their theoretical knowledge and practical skills in bone augmentation procedures.
Through comprehensive lectures and hands-on training, you will master a wide range of strategies—from basic to complex—covering material selection, surgical techniques, and digital-assisted approaches. Combining clinical case analyses with simulated practice on 3D printed jaw model and pig jaw, this course aims to build your confidence, expand your clinical capabilities, and meet diverse patient needs.
