Description

Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is the subject of this Implant Ninja video course, which looks at how deficient alveolar bone is rebuilt so that an implant can be placed where the final restoration needs it. It is an intermediate course for dentists who already place implants in favourable sites and increasingly meet ridges that are too narrow or too short. The course is delivered as a downloadable ZIP archive of recorded video lessons, which you can study at your own pace and revisit before augmentation cases.

Who the Guided Bone Regeneration course is for

• Implant dentists who regularly turn down or refer sites because of insufficient bone volume.
• Periodontists and oral surgeons who want to compare their augmentation protocol with another approach.
• Restorative dentists who plan implant cases and need to understand when bone augmentation is part of the plan.
• Surgical assistants who prepare materials and want to follow each phase of a GBR procedure.

GBR builds on routine implant surgery, so beginners should first take Implant Ninja: Implant Surgery 101. If your bone deficiency is mainly under the maxillary sinus, the Implant Ninja Sinus Lifting Masterclass is more specific. Our guide on how to choose online dental courses helps you decide.

What the course covers

The course is dedicated to guided bone regeneration in implant dentistry: the use of barrier membranes and graft materials to regenerate bone at sites where volume is lacking. It approaches bone regeneration as part of implant treatment, from recognising the deficiency to managing the surgical site. Which defect types, materials and techniques are demonstrated is best confirmed from the lesson list; contact us and we will send it to you before you buy.

How to get the most from this GBR course

1. Classify your own cases: while watching, sort a few of your past or planned cases by type of bone deficiency and note which approach you would consider.
2. Focus on soft tissue closure: rewatch the closure steps carefully, since closing the flap without tension is central to any regenerative procedure.
3. Go deeper with the reference text: 30 Years of Guided Bone Regeneration covers the biology and evidence behind the technique in detail.
4. Practise under supervision: augmentation surgery requires practical skill, and a video course does not replace hands-on training under supervision.
