2027 Urban Bone Regeneration Symposium

2027 Urban Bone Regeneration Symposium is organized by Toronto Implant Institute and will be held from Jan 22 - 24, 2027 at Four Seasons Hotel Miami, Miami, Florida, United States of America.

Symposium Overview:
Vertical bone regeneration remains one of the most technically demanding disciplines in implant dentistry. The gap between what is possible and what most clinicians routinely achieve is not a question of technology, it is a question of surgical decision-making, anatomical precision, and technique mastery. This symposium closes that gap.

Over two full days at the Four Seasons Hotel Miami, Dr. Urban delivers the complete surgical framework that underpins predictable vertical and horizontal augmentation: from anatomical principles and flap design to membrane fixation, tension-free closure, and the long-term case evidence that validates each approach.

Take your skills to the NEXT LEVEL:

• Factors influencing the results in regeneration
• Vertical and horizontal bone augmentation for the severely atrophic maxilla and mandible
• Combining vertical ridge and sinus augmentation
• Minimally invasive bone harvesting techniques
• Soft tissue reconstruction of peri-implant papillae
• Suborbicularis preparation, periosteoplasty, and papilla shift techniques
• Flap advancement around the mental nerve
• Design and use of digital membrane guides

Optional Hands-on WORKSHOP.
For clinicians who want to move beyond knowledge to application.  The Pig Jaw Workshop on January 24, offers hands-on access to the Sausage Technique? taught by Dr. Urban himself. This is not a demonstration, it is a guided surgical practice session, limited in size, conducted under direct instruction.

The Workshop Covers
Vertical and Horizontal Augmentation Using the Sausage Technique?

Vertical and horizontal augmentation represents the highest level of technical challenge in bone regeneration, demanding not only procedural competence but a precise command of surgical anatomy, flap behavior, and complication avoidance. In this half-day session, participants work directly on pig jaw specimens to practice the core elements of the technique under Dr. Urban's supervision.

Skills Practiced:

• Surgical anatomy of the floor of the mouth, the anatomical basis for safe, effective mandibular augmentation
• Ridge augmentation surgical principles - approach, instrumentation, sequencing
• Graft harvesting technique - minimally invasive harvest with reduced donor site morbidity
• Membrane fixation, for both vertical augmentation cases and the Sausage Technique?
• Tension-free flap closure, step-by-step approach to reliable closure after vertical ridge augmentation
• Neurovascular bundle protection, mental nerve identification and preservation across clinical scenarios
• Soft tissue reconstruction following augmentation
