Educational Concept

Achieve the highest learning standard
in dental surgery and patient care


Conceptual Framework 

The Educational Concept of Ghanaati-Education is based on a biologically driven understanding of oral wound healing, bone regeneration, and modern surgical principles. It integrates scientific evidence, clinical experience, and structured hands-on training to address current challenges in regenerative and surgical dentistry. A central focus of the concept is the understanding of post-extraction healing dynamics and the clinical relevance of Covered Socket Residuum (CSR).
Advances in three-dimensional imaging, particularly CBCT, have revealed that incomplete mineralization after tooth extraction is more common than previously assumed. These findings highlight the limitations of conventional healing concepts and underline the need for biologically oriented surgical strategies.


ARENA-Protocol™
At the core of the educational concept is the ARENA-Protocol™ (Alveolar Ridge Enhancement via Necrectomy and Augmentation)— a surgical approach that combines minimally invasive techniques, atraumatic extraction principles, and biologically guided regeneration, which leads to the neo-epithelialization of the ridge.

Structured Training and Clinical Application
The educational programs are designed to close existing gaps in conventional dental education by combining:
• evidence-based theoretical teaching,
• structured surgical protocols,
• hands-on training and live surgery observation,
• and case-based learning.
Special emphasis is placed on competencies that are often missing from standard curricula, such as venipuncture, preparation and application of autologous blood concentrates, and biologically driven surgical decision-making.

Ghanaati Education bridges the gap between current scientific research and actionable surgical recommendations, empowering dentists and oral surgeons to seamlessly integrate innovative methods into their daily practice. In doing so, we contribute to elevating the regenerative potential in oral surgery to a new level, ensuring optimal treatment outcomes for patients.

Program Content

We offer two different programs based on your current knowledge in biological dentistry and oral surgery. The first Level “Maxi-Residency in Biological Dentistry, Biological Surgery, and Implantology Based on Guided Open Wound Healing (GOWH™)” at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, conducted in collaboration with the Academy of Medical and Oral Regeneration, developed by our founder Professor Ghanaati - and the second Level "International Online Curriculum For Biological Innovations In Oral Surgery Based On Guided Open Wound Healing (GOWH™)" - an advanced program which is developed and delivered by our founder himself:

Level 1
"Maxi-Residency in Biological Dentistry, Biological Surgery, and Implantology Based on Guided Open Wound Healing (GOWH™)"

Our hybrid program (in-person and online), with 5 modules, is designed for general practitioners and dental specialists. It provides a clear understanding of atraumatic extractions, jawbone healing, and the biological factors behind CSR prevention.

The curriculum includes detailed instruction on thorough socket debridement and decortication, socket preservation, ridge augmentation, and implantology with both bone-level and tissue-level titanium, and ceramic implants as well as soft tissue management concepts based on the principles of the Guided Open Wound Healing Concept.

Key elements include a detailed exploration of bone substitute materials, including the classification of available options, and the application of Blood Concentrates to increase patient’s own regenerative capacity.

Joint Program with Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, Boston, USA


Level 2
"International Online Curriculum For Biological Innovations In Oral Surgery Based On Guided Open Wound Healing (GOWH™)"

This advanced course, designed for general dentists and specialists, provides graduates of the Maxi Residency Program with an in-depth understanding of the anatomy and biology of the jaw. These foundational concepts are crucial for performing successful regenerative surgeries related to implantology within the oral cavity and ensuring optimal patient health.

Participants will gain comprehensive insights into the processes of chronic inflammation in the alveolar ridge, the prevention of CSR, their potential link to systemic symptoms, and their treatment. The course will introduce the innovative Guided Open Wound Healing (GOWH™) technique, emphasizing its biological principles and integration with modern surgical practices.

In addition to this, topics will include advanced ridge augmentation using PTFE, both alone and in combination with 3D prefabricated meshes, crestal and lateral sinus floor augmentation techniques, as well as the "All-On-Four" and "All-On-X" concepts for the atrophic maxilla and mandible.

Beyond theoretical learning, the course will feature live surgeries, showcasing novel techniques tailored to the unique anatomy of the jaw.

This course is the first to connect the latest research with practical surgical advice, equipping general dentists and specialists with the knowledge to provide optimal care for their patients. Attendees will leave with actionable insights into cutting-edge methods that are revolutionizing regenerative oral surgery related to implantology.

CE-Credits:

This course is awarded with 70 credit points, corresponding to 70 CE-hours.

Additional Courses

Besides Level 1 & 2 we seperately offer Educational 3D Animations for fundamental skills as Venipuncture, Blood Concentrates & Venous Catheter. These courses are dedicated to all experience levels and set the foundation for everyday clinical practice for dentists and their teams. In addition to the fundamental skills, Ghanaati-Education offers a further section of Educational 3D Animations for advanced surgical topics and related informations.

Benefits Of Our Educational Concept

TEACHING BY PROF. DR. DR. DR. SHAHRAM GHANAATI

The classes are personally conducted by our renowed Professor Shahram Ghanaati. Through various modules, he provides participants with the most innovative methods and the highest standard of teaching.

PRACTICAL APPROACH 

With our practical approach, we transform knowledge from theory into real-world practice. Participants gain access to live-surgeries, ensuring an unparalleled learning experience.

EDUCATIONAL 3D-ANIMATIONS

We provide an innovative 3D animation-based tool for step-by-step learning of medical and surgical procedures, which helps oral medicine experts of all levels to understand the procedure itself, to be able to follow the step-by-step instruction and to use it as guidance tool whenever necessary.

VISUALIZATION-SERVICE

We offer a professional visualization-service to look at potential CSR in the jaw area. These visualizations provide an informative and detailed perspective on the bony structures for detection of CSR and method validation in combination with a consultation by Professor Ghanaati.
VIDEO-RECORDED MODULES

To make learning seamlessly fit into everyday life, our modules are recorded and later made available to students. This ensures that no material is ever missed and to navigate everyday challenges with confidence.
