Welcome to Ridge Augmentation, the complete online course dedicated to the world of regenerative and reconstructive surgery by Dr. Luca De Stavola.
Ridge Augmentation offers an extensive collection of monothematic video lessons supplemented by clinical clips and a series of video surgeries featuring in-depth commentary.The didactic path turns out to be a resource of quick, simple and immediate consultation for the implantologist, a precious source of information dedicated to the management of simple and complex reconstructive techniques.A complete clinical training course that starts from the identification of the decision-making criteria that move the most suitable surgeon’s choices for the treatment of peri and pre-implant tissues, up to the clinical management of the patient for each operative phase.
The surgical videos supporting the educational program observe an innovative format, capable of offering a complete presentation of the case, the detailed commentary on the surgical act and a final critical review with analysis of the healing.

Topics and themes:

• • Diagnostic protocols and definition of the treatment plan in reconstructive surgery;
  • Optimal soft tissue management and flap detensioning in bone augmentation procedures;
  • Biological approach to bone regeneration: Khoury technique, its evolutions and clinical applications;
  • Methods of intra-oral bone harvesting, from manual approaches to computer-guided harvesting;
  • Preparation of block grafts and their optimization and stabilization;
  • Synergies between crestal and sinus augmentation procedures for the management of maxillary atrophies;
  • Horizontal, vertical and three-dimensional crest augmentation;
  • Management of bone defects in the aesthetic area.

Thanks to Ridge Augmentation you will get a deeper understanding of:

• • A biological approach to reconstructive surgery that makes the most of the gold standard of materials: autologous bone;
  • The methods of collection, preparation and optimization of autologous grafts;
  • The principles of the Khoury technique in a simple and functional way to the case-specific needs;
  • The management of crestal augmentation, with particular reference to horizontal, vertical and three-dimensional defects;
  • The resolution of marked atrophies of the posterior maxilla;
  • The techniques of passivation of the flaps in reconstructive surgery, a fundamental parameter in the success of rehabilitation.
