botiss bone & tissue day Knokke 

On November 15, nearly 100 dental professionals gathered in Knokke for the bone & tissue day, an internationally recognized educational format that botiss has organized more than 40 times worldwide, from Bali to Porto, from Istanbul to Berlin, and now in Knokke, Belgium. The Benelux edition again showed the value of sharing evidence-based regenerative dentistry with an engaged clinical audience.

This inspiring day was made possible through the excellent organization of NedWork , and opened with a welcome speech by Drazen Tadic, CEO of botiss biomaterials. Under the guidance of Dr. Pierre Lahoud (University of Leuven), the program followed a clear scientific storyline focused on current approaches in bone and soft-tissue regeneration.

Lecture highlights

Dr. Giorgio Tabanella

Soft Tissue Management Around Dental Implants
Redefining Bone Regeneration in Implantology: The NOVAMag® Product Line
Dr. Tabanella explained biologically driven soft-tissue strategies and shared clinical protocols showing how NOVAMag® (magnesium-based and fully resorbable) contributes to minimally invasive and predictable bone regeneration.

Dr. Hassan Maghaireh

Rethinking Staged Bone Grafting: From Complications to Innovations
Dr. Maghaireh discussed decision-making in complex defects, highlighting complication-prevention, material selection, and workflow optimization for predictable staged augmentation.

Dr. Irfan Abas

Sinus Floor Elevation: Lateral vs. Crestal – When, How, and the Evidence
Dr. Abas compared sinus-augmentation techniques, explaining indications, anatomical considerations, and long-term outcomes.

Throughout the program of the day, moderated Q&A sessions and panel discussions created a highly interactive environment, allowing participants to interact with the speakers, discuss clinical challenges, deepen their understanding of advanced regenerative techniques, and benchmark their own treatment approaches.

Key products, including NOVAMag®, cerabone®, and maxgraft®, were presented as integral elements within the speakers’ treatment concepts, highlighted as important solutions for predictable outcomes in bone and soft-tissue regeneration. 

We look back on an unforgettable edition of the bone & tissue day in Knokke and thank all speakers, partners, and attendees for contributing to a day of knowledge exchange, clinical insight, and forward-looking innovation in regenerative dentistry.
