Recently, more patients are seen by the dentist for the management of gingival recession. The days of creating keratinized gingiva for optimal tooth and implant function are long gone. Today, the patients expect increased functionality with optimum esthetics. Soft tissue graft is a predictable periodontal plastic surgery procedure that can meet such expectations. It has the potential to deliver premium esthetics with long-term functional stability both, around teeth and implants.
This workshop will help dentists identify the various types of gingival recession defects, explore different soft tissue graft techniques and how these techniques can be used around teeth and implants for the management of mucogingival and recession defects.
In this 2-day workshop, participants will be guided through the surgical management of challenging cases of soft tissue defects using various soft tissue graft techniques.
Learning Outcomes:
- Explain the thought process of the selection of different surgical techniques.
- Recognize the potential risks and challenges when performing soft tissue grafting.
- Perform free gingival graft around teeth and implants.
- Perform connective tissue graft around teeth and implants.
- Recognize how to manage complications through real life cases, strategies and follow up.
Path steps:
- CLASSROOM: Soft Tissue Grafting Around Teeth & Dental Implants
- MESSAGE: Upcoming course
