Join us for Bone Augmentation – Current Concepts & New Ways. From Sinus Floor Elevation & GBR to the Shell Technique – The New Platinum Standards in Bone Augmentation Course with Dr Jochen Tunkel

Date: 19–21 March 2027
Location: ACDP, Level 1, 60 Archer Street, Chatswood NSW 2067
Time: 8:45 AM – 5:00 PM
Price: $9,735

Patient expectations regarding implant treatment have changed fundamentally in recent years. It is no longer sufficient for implants to simply be osseointegrated – they must be placed in a prosthetically ideal position. This often requires some form of bone augmentation.

Implantologists today have a wide range of surgical techniques and materials at their disposal – the challenge lies in using them correctly, safely, and with minimal morbidity for the patient.

When is which method indicated?

  • Sinus floor elevation, guided bone regeneration (GBR), autologous bone block transplantation, or allogeneic bone plates – which indication calls for what?
  • Is the shell technique now the gold standard in augmentation surgery?
  • Does autologous bone still remain irreplaceable?
  • And how safe and effective are allogeneic materials?

This course is designed for:

Dentists, oral surgeons, and maxillofacial surgeons with implantology experience who wish to expand their expertise in augmentation and soft tissue management.

What to expect:

Numerous clinical cases, images, and video demonstrations will present techniques and materials in a practical, reproducible way. Hands-on exercises on models and pig jaws will support direct implementation and confident handling.

Course topics at a glance:

  • Overview of instruments and materials
  • Soft tissue management during augmentation, implantation, and stage-two surgery
  • Bone harvesting, bone substitutes, and membranes
  • Bone splitting and spreading
  • Internal and external sinus floor elevation
  • Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR)
  • Autologous bone augmentation
  • Allogeneic bone grafts
  • Complication management
  • Main topic: Shell technique using autologous and allogeneic plates

Dr Jochen Tunkel

After completing his postgraduate training in periodontology at the University Clinic Münster (2000–2003) and in oral surgery at the renowned dental clinic Schloss Schellenstein (2004–2006), Dr. Tunkel earned his Fachzahnarzt titles in both disciplines. From 2004 to 2015, he served as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University Clinic Münster’s Department of Periodontology.

Since 2007, Dr. Tunkel has operated a private referral practice in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany, focusing exclusively on implantology, periodontology, and oral surgery. He has also served as the chairman of the Surgical Periodontology section of the German Society of Oral Surgery since 2008.

An active contributor to international dental education, Dr. Tunkel became an ITI Fellow in 2018 and was appointed an ITI Speaker in 2019. In 2020, he founded Regenerative Bioversity, an online social media learning platform dedicated to advanced regenerative techniques.
