Bone Grafting and Suturing Techniques You’ll Master in Session Two

Table of Contents

In Session Two of our 2-Day Ridge Augmentation Hands-On Course, we focus on refining the technical skills that dentists need most in their implant practice – bone grafting and suturing techniques. Whether you’re new to these procedures or looking to improve your speed and confidence, Session Two is where everything starts to click.

 

Why These Techniques Matter

Bone grafting and suturing are the foundation of successful implant outcomes. Poor graft placement or improper closure can compromise the case, even if your diagnosis and planning are flawless.

We structure this session so you’re not just watching or listening – you’re doing.

 

What You’ll Learn and Practice

  1. Ridge Split Technique
    You’ll learn how to properly split a narrow ridge and expand the bone without compromising its integrity – an essential skill when bone volume is limited.
  2. Decortication and Membrane Stabilization
    We’ll cover the step-by-step for decorticating bone for better vascularization and teach you to place and secure both resorbable and non-resorbable membranes effectively.
  3. Suturing Methods That Last
    From interrupted sutures to mattress techniques, we teach how to close flaps tension-free and maintain primary closure throughout healing.
  4. Hands-On With Pig Jaws and Models
    You won’t just watch a demo. You’ll practice ridge grafting and suturing techniques repeatedly, receiving live feedback from instructors. This builds tactile memory you’ll carry into your own operatory.
  5. Managing Complications
    We don’t avoid tough cases – we simulate them. Learn what to do when your flap won’t close or your membrane won’t stay put.

 

A Teaching Approach That Builds Muscle Memory

This course is not passive. Every step in Session Two is hands-on, with guided practice and peer collaboration. You’re building more than knowledge – you’re building surgical rhythm.
