Dr. Luca De Stavola is a globally recognized pioneer in advancing oral surgery through digital workflows, particularly renowned for his innovations in autogenous bone grafting and the modernization of the Khoury approach. By seamlessly integrating 3D digital planning with complex reconstructive procedures, his protocols—such as the groundbreaking Guided Shell Technique—have revolutionized how surgeons approach severe alveolar defects, making vertical bone augmentation more precise, predictable, and minimally invasive.

This intensive one-day program is designed to bridge the gap between fundamental biological principles and cutting-edge digital technology. During the master’s lecture, participants will delve into the critical analysis of biological defects and explore the complete digital workflow of the Guided Shell technology. Dr. De Stavola will provide a step-by-step breakdown of the surgical phases, demonstrating how computer-guided solutions can dramatically reduce surgical time while maximizing regenerative success.

The afternoon is entirely dedicated to an exclusive, highly practical hands-on session on custom resin models. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to master two distinct surgical approaches for vertical bone regeneration: the digital Khoury approach (using YDF surgical guides for precise retro-molar bone harvesting and plate fixation) and the classic Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) approach using xenografts and PTFE membranes. This dual training ensures that professionals leave with the versatile, high-level skills required to tackle the most demanding clinical scenarios.
