What Would You Learn

Objectives

After completing this course, the participant will be able to recognize:
Track 1

Case selection and indications of crestal versus lateral sinus lifts.
indications for carotta grafting versus Ridge Expansion
Practical experience in these procedures
Treatment planning and CBCT interpretation
PASS principles for predictable bone regeneration
Flap design and suture techniques
Alveolar ridge regenerative strategies
What is your choice ? Autogenous, Allogenic and/or Xenograft bone
Case selection and indications for sinus augmentation with vertical and lateral sinus approaches
Intra-oral sources for autogenous bone graft

What Would You Learn

Objectives

Track 2
Techniques Covered:

Learn how to harvest and place free gingival grafts to increase the width of keratinized tissue around implants and enhance peri-implant tissue stability and health.
Master the use of connective tissue grafts to improve soft tissue contours, achieve optimal esthetics, and treat gingival recessions with predictable root coverage outcomes.

What are gingival recessions and what are their types?
Can all types of gingival recessions be covered?
Can any implant surface coverage with recessions be achieved successfully?
Each participant will perform live gingival procedures on patients (FGG & CT graft)
What are other reasons to perform connective tissue grafts, even without recessions?
When should you use connective tissue grafts and when should you use a free gingival graft?
What are the harvesting techniques of connective tissue grafts (5 techniques)?
Which donor site is best for connective tissue grafts?
Best suturing techniques to stabilize the graft and minimize patient discomfort
How to manage the donor site? How to reduce pain and bleeding and improve patient acceptance?
What are the most predictable alternatives to using the patient’s own tissue?
What is the role of biologics in improving treatment outcomes? Is it just a hoax?

Dr. Ihab M. Hanna GP

Implantologist (AAID/ABOI Diplomate)

Dr. Ihab M. Hanna graduated, with honors, in 1994 from Cairo University. Afterward, he spent three years in training and hospital residency before moving to San Francisco. He completed two years of General practice residency at the University of Illinois, as a chief resident, where he acquired additional training in the use of Dental Implants, sedation, and special care dentistry.

With over 25 years of implant dentistry experience and faculty at Hiossen’s implant education program, Dr. Hanna has extended his skills and knowledge to the community through his implant study club where he supports general dentists in advancing their education further.

Dr. Hanna is the founder of the RWC Implant Study Club and is committed to sharing dental implant education with the general dentist community.

Dr. Mohamed Othman

DDS, FICOI, AFAAID

Dr. Mohamed Othman received his dental degree from October 6 University in Egypt and then completed a one-year Internship at October 6 University Hospital. He also completed the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) one-year Implant training course in Alexandria, Egypt. Dr.Othman practiced four years in his own private office before moving to the United States to complete the Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) Residency Program and the Fellowship in Restorative Dentistry in the School of Dental Medicine at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.
