Digital Approach and Modern Concepts for Advanced Bone Harvesting. Hands-on course by Luca De Stavola

Precision meets predictability in a course where guided shell technology, Khoury’s approach, and advanced soft tissue strategies are transformed from theory into repeatable clinical excellence.

This course delivers a deep dive into the future of bone augmentation, where technology, anatomy, and surgical expertise converge to create predictable, long-term results. 

Led by Luca De Stavola, Visiting Professor of Periodontology at the University of Padua and an internationally recognized specialist in bone reconstruction and soft tissue management, the program reflects a truly interdisciplinary philosophy that merges periodontology and restorative surgery into a unified, highly effective clinical approach.

Key topics of the seminar:

— Biological defect analysis in vertical bone augmentation
— Digital planning using guided shell technology
— Fully guided shell technique: step-by-step surgical protocol
— Soft tissue management strategies for long-term stability
— Clinical decision-making in advanced bone reconstruction.

During the hands-on session, you will perform:

— Guided bone harvesting using YDF surgical guides
— Retromolar vertical augmentation following the Khoury’s approach.

Participants leave with more than knowledge. A new level of clinical confidence, surgical clarity, and the ability to implement digitally guided bone augmentation protocols in everyday practice defines the true value of this experience.
