Magnesium revolution: novel technologies for bone and soft tissue regeneration. Giorgio Tabanella Hands-on Workshop

This course focuses on modern approaches to hard and soft tissue regeneration, including new biomaterials, barrier membranes, and technologies that expand the possibilities of contemporary surgical dentistry.

What you will learn:

— Evolution of regenerative biomaterials. From traditional bone augmentation techniques to next-generation regenerative technologies

— Modern GBR and Sticky Bone concepts. Biological principles, clinical indications, graft preparation, and stabilization

— Membrane selection for GBR. Collagen, titanium-reinforced, and bioresorbable membranes: applications, advantages, and limitations

— New bioresorbable technologies. Modern metallic membranes and their applications in regenerative surgery

— Innovative magnesium-based materials. Mechanisms of action, biodegradation properties, and potential applications in hard and soft tissue regeneration

— Magnesium Shield technique. Clinical indications, patient selection, and application in cases of buccal bone wall deficiency

— Clinical protocols and complication management. Membrane adaptation and stabilization, soft tissue management, wound closure, and key factors for achieving predictable outcomes.

During the hands-on part of the course on a typodont, you will practice:

— The Magnesium Shield technique

— GBR using collagen and magnesium membranes.

This course is designed for clinicians who want to stay up to date with the latest regenerative technologies, understand the potential of innovative biomaterials, and incorporate modern clinical protocols into their practice.
