Dr. Michael A. Pikos and Dr. Istvan Urban come together for a comprehensive Hard Tissue Grafting Symposium. Join us for a once in a lifetime opportunity to see two of the world's leading experts on bone grafting on one stage for two days. You don't want to miss this blockbuster event!

June 24, 2021:
- Hands-On Workshops

Pikos Workshop:
Vertical and Horizontal Ridge Augmentation with Titanium Mesh/rhBMP-2 Particulated Bone Graft

This hands-on workshop will focus on the key principles involved for horizontal and vertical alveolar ridge augmentation. It will include the use of titanium mesh particulate grafting protocols and will feature incision design, flap management, site preparation, graft materials, growth factors, barrier membranes and soft tissue closure (suturing techniques).

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand clinical based anatomy for maxillary and mandibular alveolar ridge augmentation.

2. Learn the key surgical principles for predictable alveolar ridge augmentation.

3. Understand and learn the keys to minimize complications from alveolar ridge augmentation procedures.

Urban Workshop:
Vertical Ridge Augmentation with Titanium Reinforced Membrane and Particulated Bone Graft

This hands-on section will provide an in-depth knowledge of the details of vertical ridge augmentation surgery. Flap design, graft and membrane placement, effective flap mobilization and double-layer suture will be demonstrated.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the surgical anatomy of the floor of the mouth

2. Learn the surgical principles of ridge augmentation surgery

3. Learn the tension free closure of the flaps after vertical ridge augmentation
