22 Credit Hours

The Advanced Bone Grafting II course presents the Pikos Institute Philosophy as it pertains to the most difficult of horizontal and vertical bone grafting challenges. It is designed to provide clinicians with high technology solutions to predictably restore patient form, function and esthetics. (Advanced Bone Grafting I is recommended)

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 also 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, 3D mesh particulate grafting, BMP-2 grafting and Digitally Guided Bone Augmentation®. LIVE Surgical demonstration and Hands-On surgery with models will be featured.
