Description
ART AND SCIENCE OF PERIODONTAL AND PERI-IMPLANT PLASTIC SURGERY FOR OPTIMAL SOFT TISSUE ESTHETICS
ABSTRACT
Esthetics is the primary focus of contemporary dentistry. Therefore, achieving optimal soft tissue contours, both around natural teeth and implants, is the goal of any comprehensive esthetic treatment. In this course, participants, starting with an understanding of the biology of periodontal and peri-implant soft tissue, will learn how to perform up-to-date surgical techniques to achieve excellence in clinical soft tissue management. Tips and tricks will be highlighted, and the surgeries will be performed directly by participants on simulation models.
PROGRAM
DAY 1:
- Etiology and prevention of gingival recessions
- Classification and clinical prognosis
- Fundamentals of Periodontal Plastic Surgery
- The Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) for single and multiple recessions
- LIVE/VIDEO Surgery
DAY 2:
- The Connective Tissue Graft (CTG): conventional techniques and envelope / tunnel techniques
- Harvesting techniques from palate and tuberosity
- 2–Stage techniques : Free Gingival Graft (FGG) followed by CAF
- LIVE/VIDEO Surgery
- HANDS ON: different CAF, CTG , FGG and harvesting techniques
DAY 3:
- From periodontal to periimplant tissues: biology and clinical implications
- Factors affecting soft tissue contours around implants
- Prevention of soft tissue complications around implants: surgical techniques
- Treatment of soft tissue defects around restored implants: surgical techniques for recessions, volume defects and lack of keratinized tissue
- LIVE/VIDEO Surgery
- HANDS ON: different surgical techniques to improve soft tissue thickness/keratinized tissue and to cover recessions around implants
FUNCTION AND AESTHETICS IN PROSTHETIC REHABILITATIONS ON TEETH AND IMPLANTS
ABSTRACT
The success factors in prosthetic rehabilitation are numerous. The course will explore the selection of the ideal preparation, provisional management and final impression using the established analog protocols and the most modern digital or the hybrid approaches.Modern prosthetic rehabilitation design leverages the overlapping of multiple three-dimensional patient data to design a new smile for both teeth and implants. This results in minimally invasive dental preparations and prosthetically guided implants that respect hard and soft tissue. Intra- and extraoral scanners, virtual wax-ups, high-resolution CBCT, and innovative guided surgery software ensure increasingly personalized approaches to each individual treatment plan.A series of step-bystep clinical cases will be illustrated over the three days, covering both clinical and laboratory aspects.
PURPOSE:
The course will explore the phases of design, surgical execution, and prosthetic rehabilitation using both the most established analog protocols and the most modern digital workflows. Acquire the fundamentals for designing a new smile, both on teeth and implants, using modern digital data collection to perform minimally invasive dental preparations and prosthetically guided implant rehabilitations, while respecting hard and soft tissues.
