15 online lectures

A new concept and a modern approach to promote bone regeneration in your daily practice.

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.

The full course program
Lesson 1: Introduction to a novel approach in daily practice
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
In this introductory lecture, the Author Dr Luca De Stavola presents the program of his online course dedicated to alveolar bone reconstruction.

Duration: 11 min 48 sec
Lesson 2: Defect analysis and graft material choice
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
This lectures starts from the analysis of the healing pattern in peri-implant bone regeneration, in order to identify when and how use autologous or non-autologous bone according to the resorbtion rate of the material and the desired outcome of the treatment. The lecture comprises a review of long-term follow up clinical cases.

Duration: 45 min 37 sec
Lesson 3: Mandible bone harvesting
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
The lecture focuses on autologous bone block harvesting techniques as described by Prof. Khoury: from the donor site identification and harvesting techniques, to an analysis on how computer-guided 3D technology can help the surgeon in performing safe and effective mandible bone harvesting procedures.

Duration: 49 min 57 sec
Lesson 4: Block graft management
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
This lecture focuses on the management procedures of freshly harvested bone blocks according to the Khoury's technique principles, with the aim of maximizing the bone generation potential of the autologous graft.

Duration: 51 min 13 sec
Lesson 5: Soft tissue management
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
Optimal flap tension is crucial when it comes to obtaining primary wound healing. In this lecture the Author presents innovative flap passivation techniques, aimed at measure flap tension and ensure the correct degree of passivation and wound closure. Then Dr Luca De Stavola draws the conclusions from the content of the previous lectures, and re-inforces the keypoints by addressing a clinical case.

Duration: 1 h 8 min 52 sec
Lesson 6: Placement of 2 implants in the posterior mandible and contextual peri-implant bone dehiscence surgical management
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
The video shows the placement of 2 implants in the lower jaw (first and second right molar). The bone deficiency of the mandible forces the surgeon to face an extensive horizontal bone dehiscence that will be solved via GBR; the mixed graft will be appropriately stabilized with the use of a membrane. A thorough description of the soft tissue management in bone augmentation procedures completes the case commentary.

Duration: 41 min 25 sec
Lesson 7: Single tooth implant placement with the innovative On1™ base to preserve the connective tissue structure
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
The video shows a single implant positioning in a case of monoedentulism in the lower jaw. While the horizontal defect is solved thanks to the osteodistraction effect of the implant positioning itself, the video allows to appreciate the adoption of one of the latest developments in terms of tissue integration proposed on the market.

Duration: 11 min 12 sec
Lesson 8: Tridimensional bone augmentation of posterior maxilla
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
This video portrays the implant restoration of an atrophic posterior maxilla. The surgical planning ranges from vertical augmentation through sinus floor elevation, and moves then to the coverage of the bone dehiscences on the vestibular side of the 3 implants placed. The commentary of the Author provides precious tips concerning the use of different bone grafts according to the bone regeneration potential of the various areas touched during the surgery.

Duration: 41 min 58 sec
Lesson 9: Vertical GBR correction of small defect on element 25
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
The video shows the surgical resolution of a bone defect between the elements 25 and 26 on a patient suffering from periodontal disease.The Author describes the whole treatment plan, that starts with pre-op non-surgical periodontal therapy. The surgical act is thoroughly described in all its steps, while the last section of the lecture focuses on a very in depth review of the concepts behind successful management of soft and hard tissue in bone augmentation.

Duration: 44 min 29 sec
Lesson 10: 3D Bone augmentation in the posterior maxilla
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.

In particular, the atrophy presented a horizontal and vertical bone deficit with involvement of the maxillary sinus. The bone augmentation procedure involved the use of the Khoury technique with a simplified bone harvesting approach.

Duration: 1 h 42 min 49 sec
Lesson 11: ReLIVE surgery - Vertical ridge augmentation of the posterior mandible with Khoury technique
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
