The course format
One full day each: see it, watch it, do it
You first understand the biology, then you watch every step live in the operating room, and then you do it yourself under guidance.
Full day · live surgery
Watch every step live
Horizontal grafting case with retromolar bone block harvesting. Watch from the seminar room or assist in the operating room, with questions answered during the surgery.
Full day · hands-on
Do it with your own hands
Bone harvesting, split bone block technique and fixation on the model, soft tissue techniques on animal cadaver. The focus of the masterclass.
Do you recognise this?
Watching videos is not the same as doing it
- You still refer larger horizontal defects to colleagues.
- You rely on substitutes and membranes and the result is not predictable enough.
- You have seen the Khoury technique online but never held the instruments under guidance.
- Soft tissue closure over the graft is the step you are least sure about.
After 3 days
You know the protocol, you have seen it live and you have done it yourself
- Biological principles of autologous bone and soft tissue augmentation
- Safe retromolar bone harvesting protocol
- Split bone block technique and block fixation
- Flap design and tension-free closure over the graft
- Your own treatment plans discussed with Şerif
Focus on hands-on
Your own hands on the model and on animal cadaver
A full day of practice in a small group. Şerif and his team go from workstation to workstation and correct every step.
- Bone harvesting from the retromolar region
- Khoury method & split bone block technique
- Bone block fixation and horizontal augmentation
- Soft tissue: Kazanjian vestibuloplasty, apically repositioned flap, palatal pedicle rotation flap
Live surgery day
Close to the operating field, with your questions answered live
All live surgical procedures are performed exclusively by Şerif Küçük. Participants watch via video transmission in the seminar room or assist in the operating room; they do not operate on patients.

Reviews
What participants say
“Competence, collegiality, the 100% sharing and imparting of very practical knowledge in an atmosphere where honesty about the causes of failure is not taboo. I wish I had booked this course years ago. Dr. Kücük is an excellent surgeon with a modesty that many could take a leaf out of his book. I could say so many more positive things about the course … Simply perfect and exceeded my high expectations. Very happy to come back again and again.”
Dr. Walid El-KhatibDentist & Maxillofacial Surgeon, Berlin, Germany
“Serif is a fantastic teacher and simplified a complex technique. The live surgery and hands-on were invaluable. I’d recommend this course to anyone looking to take their skills to the next level. A huge thank you to Serif and his team for a great course.”
Dr. Salman SheikhDentist & Oral Surgeon, England
“I came all the way from Minnesota to learn from doctor Serif. And he exceeded all the expectations. The experience was filled with great information and very useful techniques that we can start to use tomorrow. Overall he is very good teacher who loves the subject and his students. Hospitality exceeded all limits. Very happy that I made this trip.”
Dr. Joseph GendlerDentist & Oral Surgeon, Minnesota, US
“Great lecturer, great course, great content, great team, can’t ask for anything more. Serif is very talented and great at what he does. You learn the fine details and techniques that have been refined and filtered so that you can take back the best to clinic immediately. His team working with him ensure everything is punctual and efficient. Covered a generous amount of theory, live surgery and hands on in just 3 days, don’t think it can be done any better. Highly recommended to any dentist interested in hard and soft tissue grafting. Thank you Serif and the whole bone factory team! (100% no BS).”
Dr. Jihad KaderDentist & Oral Surgeon, England
Your trainer
Şerif Küçük
Şerif almost left comprehensive school without graduating. From a pupil with learning disabilities to an oral surgeon and specialist in reconstructive implant surgery, with the focus on autogenous bone augmentation.
He completed his 4-year residency in oral surgery at the private dental clinic Schloss Schellenstein under Prof. Fouad Khoury, the developer of the biological bone augmentation procedure. In his own implant clinic in Bünde, Germany, over 100 referring dentists entrust him with their implant patients.
He has trained hundreds of colleagues in live surgery and hands-on courses, speaks internationally on biological bone and soft tissue reconstruction and reaches well over 20,000 colleagues with BoneFactory.
