Shell technique Master Course - Autologous to Relining to Allogeneic - Current concepts & new developments (including live surgery)

Shell technique Master Course - Autologous to Relining to Allogeneic - Current concepts & new developments (including live surgery) is organized by Stoma Dentalsysteme GmbH & Co KG, Quintessence Publishing Co, Inc and will be held from Sep 05 - 06, 2024 at tunkel & tunkel fachzahnarztpraxis, Bad oeynhausen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Description:
In many implant rehabilitations bone augmentation is necessary to provide sufficient volume of the alveolar process for implant placement in the correct prosthetic position. Although many options and materials are available, the shell technique according to Prof. Khoury becomes more and more the standard of bone augmentation. Further developments of the technique do even show better results and less morbidity for the patient, such as augmentative relining during implantation after shell technique augmentation and allogeneic bone plates. Is autologous bone irreplaceable as the gold standard or are there now equivalent methods? What do allogeneic bone substitutes do and how safe is their use?

This course is aimed at dentists, periodontologists, oral surgeons and oral / maxillofacial surgeons who want to expand their spectrum, especially in the field of augmentative surgery and soft tissue management. Using numerous clinical images and video demonstrations, the principles, methods and materials for the autologous and allogeneic shell technique will be presented in a practical and reproducible manner. Practical exercises on the model and on the pig‘s jaw facilitate direct implementation and handling.
