Prof. Fouad Khoury is a distinguished and exceptional surgeon renowned for his pioneering work in the field of bone augmentation using autogenous bone. His profound understanding of bone biology led to the development of the split cortical bone block protocol, widely known as the ‘Khoury bone plate’ technique or simply ‘The Khoury Technique.’ This groundbreaking approach has established itself as a highly reliable method for the three-dimensional reconstruction of the maxilla and mandible.
Overall, the Khoury Technique is known for its predictability and high success rates in bone augmentation procedures, making it a valuable tool in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery
Prof. Khoury’s innovative perspective on the importance of autogenous bone also resulted in the creation of other significant bone grafting procedures, such as the bone core technique and the bony lid approach. His clinical philosophy emphasizes that successful bone augmentation necessitates impeccable soft tissue management.
Dr. Khoury received his dental education at St. Joseph University in Beirut, Lebanon, and specialized in Oral Surgery at the Universities of Freiburg and Muenster in Germany. He served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Muenster, where he completed his PhD and scientific habilitation degree. Since 1994, he has been a full professor at the Department of Oral & Maxillo-Facial Surgery at the University of Muenster and Chairman of the Privatklinik Schloss Schellenstein in Olsberg, Germany.
Prof. Khoury holds several patents, has published over 110 papers, authored three textbooks, delivered more than 800 lectures and courses, and serves on the editorial board of various journals.

The IDEA series of courses are the best that I have ever attended. They offer an excellent combination of practical teaching in the lab setting, and explanation of underlying biological concepts. Thank you Khourys and IDEA!
It's like a light bulb went on after listening to Dr. Khoury brothers! When things make sense and you understand 'why', that is when you truly appreciate what must be done for patients and obtain the results we are looking for!
Every course I attend at IDEA exceeds my expectations. The small group and direct access to world class clinicians provides an invaluable learning environment. I will definitely be back for more courses.
Drs. Fouad and Charles Khoury were incredible! The knowledge gained on bone and soft tissue grafting was phenomenal, and I cannot wait to implement those principles. Heike and her team did an amazing job hosting this event.
