MOI
Human Cadaver Course in Vienna

The Human Cadaver Course in Vienna offers our students the opportunity to practice on fresh and not embalmed cadaver heads. The course is an obligatory practical module of the master program in Oral Implantology (MOI).

This course has been pioneered to meet the specific needs of oral surgeons and practicing dentists not only to learn, plan and perform all kinds of standard and advanced surgical techniques and soft tissue management but also to update the knowledge in the delicate anatomical structures of the oral cavity. The focus is on special surgical techniques to improve oral soft tissue esthetics. 

80 % of the human cadaver course is hands-on with 20 % live or videotaped dissection/operation (displayed on screen). Everything will be performed step by step.

A maximum of two participants will be assigned to a fresh and not embalmed human cadaver skull: a „close to reality“ simulation of the surgical procedures.

Topics of the course
  • Soft tissue management (split flap, connective tissue graft)
  • Soft tissue grafts from the palate and tuber region
  • Harvesting a bone block from the retromolar region and the chin
  • Harvesting a bone block using the Piezotome technique
  • Harvesting a bone block using a trephine
  • Bone spreading
  • Bone spreading using a self-condensing screw system
  • Bone splitting using piezosurgery
  • Implant placement with lateral augmentation using BioOss and BioGuide
  • Lateral (external) sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement
  • Tooth extraction with immediate implant placement (immediate implantation)
  • Review of anatomical structures in oral surgery
  • Exposure of the inferior alveolar nerve
  • Exposure and mobilization of the buccal fat pad (Bichat’s fat pad) and closure of an oroantral fistula
