Course Details

• This course takes an in-depth look at the BBA concept (Biological Bone Augmentation with pure autogenous bone) and the Split Bone Technique (by Prof. Khoury). Innovative modifications such as the Semilunar Techniques (SLT) are also discussed.
• You will be presented with a short presentation followed by an assessment.
• If you achieve a score of 80% or more, you pass the course and will receive a certificate to place in your CPD folder. If you do not pass, you will have the opportunity to review the content and retake the assessment when you feel confident to do so.
