This once yearly course is limited to experienced implant clinicians, and introduces state of the art hard and soft tissue augmentation concepts for complex case reconstruction. It will review the latest high technology surgical solutions for the challenging reconstruction patient, with the goal of promoting practical and predictable implant rehabilitation. It will integrate CT diagnostic protocols with the latest surgical concepts for computer guided implant surgery. Topics will include a review of contemporary surgical bone grafting techniques, autogenous sinus grafting, tibial bone harvest, computer guided surgery and Digitally Guided Bone Augmentation™. LIVE Surgical demonstration and hands-on surgery with models will be featured.

At the completion of this course, attendees will be able to:

• Implement the Pikos Institute Philosophy of oral implant rehabilitation for complex case bone reconstruction.

• Understand hard and soft tissue architecture as it relates to bone grafting and case success.

• Identify clinically significant anatomic variables for autogenous bone grafting.

• Utilize interactive CT software to evaluate complex 3-D bony ridge defects.

• Perform 3-D evaluation to objectively assess mandibular harvest sites.

• Describe the indications and surgical protocols for autogenous tibial bone harvest.

• Describe the indications and surgical protocols for Digitally Guided Bone Augmentation™.

• Describe and apply the principles of reverse tissue engineering.

• List the indications and surgical protocols for autogenous bilateral maxillary sinus bone grafting.

• List the indications and surgical protocols for complex horizontal and vertical monocortical block grafting.

• Optimize patient selection, case presentation and informed consent.

• Utilize growth factor technology in conjunction with hard and soft tissue grafting protocols.

• Recognize, manage and prevent bone graft complications.
