Modern Implantology workshop in Bilbao

Build Clinical Confidence with the Modern Implantology Roadmap

The international Geistlich Hands-on Workshop with Dr. Alfonso L. Gil offers a compact, clinically focused learning experience for young clinicians who want to strengthen their surgical confidence and integrate Geistlich biomaterials throughout the entire implantology workflow. 

Held at the Education Center, Advanced Esthetic Seminars (AES) in Bilbao, this one-day intensive course follows a practical roadmap from clinical diagnosis and digital planning to ridge preservation, guided bone regeneration, immediate and late dental implant placement, and soft tissue augmentation. 

Rather than focusing on a single technique, Dr. Alfonso L. Gil guides participants through a streamlined yet comprehensive surgical and restorative approach to modern implantology. The course highlights how biologically driven protocols and targeted use of biomaterials can support optimal healing, tissue regeneration, and long-term predictability in daily clinical practice. 

The educational concept builds on the latest clinical evidence as implemented at AES Bilbao, where Alfonso Gil emphasizes real-world clinical workflows and the consistent use of Geistlich products across multiple indications, including ridge preservation, immediate implants, L-shape augmentation and soft tissue management. 

What You Will Learn

1. Digital Planning and Guided Surgery

Develop a structured workflow for digital diagnosis, treatment planning and guided surgical execution in implant dentistry. 

2. Ridge Preservation and Immediate Protocols

Understand the clinical decision-making behind ridge preservation, extraction socket management and immediate dental implant placement, including the targeted use of Geistlich biomaterials. 

3. Guided Bone Regeneration 

Learn how to approach GBR such as the L-shape concept with Geistlich biomaterials in simultaneous and staged dental implant placement protocols.

4. Soft Tissue Management Around Implants

Gain practical insight into minimally invasive VISTA soft tissue augmentation and the use of Geistlich collagen matrices in soft tissue procedures. 

5. Biomaterial Selection Across the Workflow

Learn how to integrate Geistlich biomaterials throughout the treatment workflow. 

6. Efficiency Through Biologically Focused Protocols

Explore how digital and biologically driven protocols can help reduce surgical complexity and improve clinical efficiency. 

A Compact One-Day Hands-on Format

The course combines theory and hands-on training in a full-day format from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Friday, 30 October 2026. 

The morning focuses on digital planning, guided surgery, ridge preservation, GBR, dental implant protocols, and soft tissue management. 

The afternoon is dedicated to hands-on exercises covering GBR with L-shape design, ridge preservation for intact and compromised sockets, and VISTA soft tissue augmentation.
