Digital Implantology & Bone Augmentation: From Virtual Planning to Predictable Outcomes is an SSPI Scientific Activity taking place at Le Méridien Medina, Medina, Saudi Arabia, on 30 October 2026. Organized by the Saudi Society of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry as part of SSPI Reach, this in-person symposium provides a clinically focused review of digital implant workflows and advanced bone regeneration. The advertised meeting hours are 13:30–18:30, with the published scientific agenda ending at 18:15.
The programme connects virtual treatment planning with the surgical field. Guided implant surgery is discussed alongside guided bone regeneration for alveolar ridge deficiencies and appropriate three-dimensional implant positioning. The official course abstract highlights defect assessment, material selection, space maintenance, membrane stabilization and soft-tissue management, supported by clinical case demonstrations of horizontal and vertical augmentation. Attention is also given to accuracy, common limitations, complication prevention and predictable clinical decision-making.
Dr. Ahmad Elbana, described on the event poster as a periodontist and implantologist and Lecturer of Periodontology at Mansoura University, leads the bone-regeneration component. His first lecture, from 14:00–14:45, examines the rationale of guided bone regeneration from defect diagnosis to treatment planning. From 14:45–15:30, he covers surgical principles and step-by-step clinical execution. A question-and-answer session follows before the prayer and coffee break.
Dr. Mohammad Hejazi leads the digital-guidance component. The poster describes him as a dentist with a Higher Diploma in Implant Dentistry and a Certified Surgical Guide Designer; no employing institution is stated. His 16:00–17:00 session introduces guided surgery, types of surgical guides and guide-design principles. The next hour addresses accuracy, sources of error, clinical applications and clinical cases. A final question-and-answer period runs from 18:00–18:15.
The target audience includes periodontists, implantologists, prosthodontists, oral surgeons and general dentists. The public listing states a capacity of 50. Registration is SAR 100 for SSPI members and SAR 200 for non-members; joining requires access to the society’s professional portal. No separate hands-on workshop or call for abstracts is published for this event. GSMS — Global Specialities and BioHorizons Camlog are explicitly named as sponsors.
The official page and poster advertise four CME hours, but neither identifies the accrediting body or approval number. The listing therefore records the advertised hours without asserting SCFHS accreditation. The complete agenda and category-specific fee table are available in the event’s image gallery.
