BIS 2026 Pre Congress Hands-On Workshop

Bone Augmentation Using the Bone Core Technique

The Bone Core Technique (also known as the Carrot / Carotta Technique) is a minimally invasive autogenous bone augmentation method. A cylindrical bone core (“carrot”) is harvested directly from the future implant site using a trephine bur and then used to rebuild localized bone defects. This approach avoids the need for a secondary donor site, reduces healing time, and leverages the high biological potential of autologous bone—providing osteogenic, osteoinductive, and osteoconductive properties for predictable ridge augmentation and simultaneous implant placement.

Socket Preservation with the Socket Seal Technique

The Socket Seal Technique (SST), developed and popularized by Fouad Khoury, is a surgical procedure used in implant dentistry to preserve the alveolar ridge following tooth extraction. It focuses on sealing the extraction socket with autogenous soft tissue to support optimal bone and soft tissue healing.

Agenda:

1. Lecture: Bone Augmentation Using the Bone Core Technique and Socket Preservation with the Socket Seal Technique
2. Hands-On 1: Bone Augmentation Using the Bone Core Technique und Implantation
3. Hands-On 2: Autologous Socket Preservation with the Socket Seal Technique

The Pre-Congress Hands-On Workshop will be organized in two groups to ensure optimal learning quality.
