Guided Bone Regeneration and Ridge Augmentation have become routine procedures to enhance the functional, biological and aesthetic outcome of dental implants. This course will provide extensive hands-on laboratory exercises on simulated anatomical models and animal models to prepare the participant with the surgical skills necessary to perform GBR. Special attention will be given to the selection of graft materials and membranes based on sound scientific evidence and decades of clinical experience. Participants will also perform exercises on the use of bone tacks and screws.

Attendance is strictly limited to maintain high instructor to participant ratio.
