Program
This intensive program combines detailed theoretical foundations, live surgical demonstrations, and practical hands-on training, equipping you with the skills to confidently manage both routine and complex bone reconstruction cases.
The course covers:
– Principles of grafting procedures and treatment planning, including minimally invasive and advanced grafting techniques such as Bony-lid, Carota, Bone Spreading/Splitting, and the Split Bone Block (SBB) technique
– Soft tissue management for optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes, including Kazanjian’s vestibuloplasty, pedicle and rotation flaps, apical repositioning, and free soft tissue grafts.
Why this course is unique:
– Gain direct insight from Prof. Fouad Khoury, the creator of the Khoury Approach, with over 140 publications and 1,000 lectures worldwide
– Combine live surgeries and hands-on practice to bridge the gap between theory and clinical application
– Master both hard and soft tissue augmentation in a structured step-by-step approach for predictable, high-quality results
– Learn advanced techniques applicable to complex 3D reconstructions and challenging clinical scenarios.
