Bone Augmentation Using the Cortical Lamina Technique. Seminar + Demonstration Masterclass by Roberto Rossi. "VIP" option

Clinical predictability meets surgical simplicity—this training reveals how modern GBR can be transformed into a structured, reproducible, and efficient protocol for everyday practice.

Led by Roberto Rossi, a lecturer renowned throughout Europe for his expertise in Guided Bone Regeneration, this course introduces a refined approach to managing ridge defects using the Cortical Lamina Technique.

Ridge defects remain one of the most common challenges following tooth extraction, with up to 50% loss of the original bone and soft tissue volume. 
This course focuses on simplified GBR protocols that enhance stability, reduce complications, and allow clinicians to confidently manage both horizontal and vertical defects using collagenated cortical lamina.

During the seminar, you will learn about:

– Biological principles of bone regeneration and wound healing
– Patterns of post-extraction bone resorption and their clinical implications
– Indications and case selection for GBR procedures
– Step-by-step protocols for horizontal and vertical ridge augmentation
– The GBR technique with cortical sheets
– Technique Modifications: F.I.R.S.T. (Fibrinogen Induced Regenerative Sealing Technique) and LEGO and their combinations
– Graft selection and combination strategies for predictable outcomes
– Flap design, tension-free closure, and suturing techniques
– Prevention and management of complications in GBR
– Decision-making algorithms for complex 3D defects.

A unique combination of simplified protocols and advanced biomaterials allows clinicians to achieve highly predictable results while reducing surgical complexity—making this seminar a powerful upgrade for anyone seeking to master modern bone augmentation techniques.
