Carrot Technique

Over 2,000 dentists trained offline and online worldwide — now available as an online course.

New online course

When particulate bone won't hold contour — and a block is overkill.

The Carrot Technique

A predictable way to rebuild small bone defects with strong contour – in the aesthetic and the posterior zone – with local autogenous bone, two fixation options and no biomaterial.

Why this matters

Between particulate bone and a bone block — there was a gap.

Particulate grafts struggle to hold contour. A full bone block is often too much for a small defect. The Carrot Technique closes this gap — in the aesthetic zone and in the posterior zone.

1

Particulate bone won't hold contour

Small defects with demanding contour often collapse under the soft tissue when filled with particulate bone alone — volume loss, disappointing aesthetics, sometimes a second surgery.

2

A full bone block is overkill for the defect

Full-block techniques mean more donor-site morbidity, longer surgery time and more effort — for a defect that doesn't call for it. Many surgeons use a block anyway because they have nothing in between.

3

Dependence on biomaterial and its cost

Relying on biomaterial as a filler ties you to supply chains, patient preference — some patients decline foreign material — and extra cost per case, without the predictability of the patient's own bone.

The Carrot Technique closes exactly this gap between particulate bone and a block — with a reproducible protocol instead of case-by-case improvisation.

Without a clear protocol

  • Every case improvised — particulate? Block? Combination?
  • Decision depends on gut feeling, not reproducible criteria
  • Higher donor-site morbidity when a block is oversized for the defect
  • No case-selection logic that can be taught or handed to a colleague

With the Carrot protocol

  • Clear case-selection criteria: when to choose Carrot over particulate or block
  • A reproducible 5-step sequence — selection, harvest/shaping, fixation, filling, soft-tissue closure
  • Two defined fixation options instead of an under-pressure, case-by-case call
  • Teachable — hand it to your team or colleagues

What is inside

Five video modules. One clear protocol.

An online training with several hours of video content. Every step is shown on real cases – in the aesthetic zone and in the posterior zone.

  1. 1

    Case selection

    Which small defects with strong contour suit the carrot approach – anterior and posterior.

  2. 2

    Local harvesting and shaping

    Harvest the graft locally – or outside the surgical site – and shape it like a carrot.

  3. 3

    Carrot fixation

    Two ways to fix the carrot: with microscrews (1.0) or through the implant.

  4. 4

    Filling the gaps

    Autogenous bone around the carrot closes every gap and stabilises the contour.

  5. 5

    Soft tissue closure

    Closing the wound – shown in the anterior and in the posterior region.

Real cases – aesthetic zone and posterior zone

Taken from the course material. Every step is shown in the surgery room, including posterior cases in the mandible with healed bone.

Aesthetic zone

Fixation: implant and carrot fixed with microscrews
Filling: gaps closed with autogenous bone
Result: temporary crown

Posterior zone – mandible

Harvest: carrot graft with microscrew and trephine set
Fixation: 100% autogenous bone around the implant
Filling: gaps filled with local autogenous bone
Healing: carrot regeneration, 3 months post-op

Şerif Küçük

Oral Surgeon · Implant Surgeon · Expert in the Khoury technique

Over 20 years of surgical practice in implantology and autologous bone grafting. He spent 4 years training at the practice of Prof. Frank Khoury in Bünde — one of Europe's leading centers for autologous bone grafting — where he qualified as an oral surgeon and personally performed hundreds of Carrot Technique procedures. The technique comes straight from his own surgery room, with the reasoning behind each decision.

  • 20+ years of surgical practice
  • Live surgery & hands-on training in Bünde
  • Teaches dental professionals worldwide

The Carrot Technique was developed in daily surgical practice for exactly the cases where particulate bone is not enough and a block is too much. The course shows each step with the reasoning behind it.

What participants say

What participants say about our live trainings.

These quotes are from Şerif Küçük's live Masterclass trainings, not reviews of this online course.

“I came all the way from Minnesota to learn from Doctor Şerif, and he exceeded all my expectations. The experience was filled with great information and very useful techniques we can start using tomorrow. He is a very good teacher who loves the subject and his students. Hospitality exceeded all limits — very happy I made this trip.”

Dr. Joseph Gendler

“Great lecturer, great course, great content, great team — can't ask for anything more. Serif is very talented at what he does. You learn the fine details and techniques, refined and filtered, that you can take back to the clinic immediately. Covered a generous amount of theory, live surgery and hands-on in just 3 days. Highly recommended to any dentist interested in hard and soft tissue grafting.”

Dr. Jihad Kader

“We were looking for procedures to rebuild the bone, and it was important to us to do this with autologous bone. We were there for the first time last year, and Doctor Küçük inspired us so much that we were already waiting for the second course — very happy to be here again.”

Questions

Before you enrol.

Who is this course for?

Implant and oral surgeons who treat small defects with strong contour – in the aesthetic and the posterior zone – and want an option between particulate grafting and a bone block.

Are microscrews and instruments included?

No. The online training does not include microscrews or instruments.

How long do I have access?

One year of access is included.

Do I need a subscription?

No — this is a one-time payment. No subscription, no hidden costs.

What's the difference to the Masterclass of Bone Augmentation (live training)?

This online course covers the protocol and video case studies at your own pace. The live Masterclass adds hands-on practice, live surgery, a certificate and personal feedback — the natural next step once you've worked through the Carrot Technique.

Which devices does it work on?

Any device with a browser — PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes — 60-day money-back guarantee, the same as on our other courses. No subscription, no hidden costs.
