Vertical and Horizontal Alveolar Ridge Augmentation. Massimo Simion's Years of Clinical Experience and Complication-Free Practice. Advanced Seminar. "Standard" option

Predictable guided bone regeneration requires a combination of sound biological principles, accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment planning, and precise surgical execution. 

This advacned seminar by Massimo Simion is dedicated to the management of horizontal and vertical bone defects using contemporary GBR protocols, with a particular focus on titanium-reinforced membranes and customized titanium meshes.

Drawing on decades of clinical experience in implantology, osseointegration, and bone regeneration, Massimo Simion will present a structured approach to GBR, from the assessment of bone defects and selection of the appropriate regenerative strategy to surgical execution and complication management.

During the seminar, you will learn about:

— Biological principles of GBR and predictable management of horizontal and vertical bone defects
— Titanium-reinforced membranes, customized semipermeable titanium meshes, autogenous bone grafts, and biomaterials
— Treatment planning for bone defects and atrophy in partially and totally edentulous patients
— Surgical protocols for vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation, including flap design, membrane and graft positioning, and stabilization
— Digital planning and clinical applications of customized titanium meshes in the aesthetic zone and posterior regions
— Management of complications associated with GBR and strategies for improving the predictability of regenerative procedures.

The course combines Massimo Simion’s extensive clinical and teaching experience, providing participants with a structured approach to predictable GBR and the management of challenging implant site defects.

IMPORTANT: the “Seminar. Comfort”, “Seminar + Demonstration. VIP” and “Hands-on workshop” participation options are also available for purchase.

Advantages of the “Seminar. Standard” participation option:
