Periodontal Plastic Microsurgery Techniques for Teeth and Implants

Reconstructing soft-tissue defects in the esthetic zone for teeth & implants, is highly challenging for any clinician. For many years, the scientific and clinical development of suitable surgical techniques was measured in terms of achieving the best quantitative results possible. In the current view, however, it is impossible to obtain successful treatment outcomes if the best defect augmentation possible does not go hand-in-hand with good qualitative results in terms of color, surface texture and scar tissue. Therefore, even small shortcomings of the surgical procedure could lead to problems that can hardly be corrected later in many cases.

Surgical interventions are only a small piece of the jigsaw puzzle for the successful management of patients with periodontal disease. In other words, even if executed using best practices and techniques, periodontal surgery procedures will not have a significant impact if they are not embedded in a practice environment that ensures that all the necessary phases of systematic periodontal treatment can be carried out in a competent manner.It seems sometimes that the perfect results can only be attained with several surgical procedures.

We need to ask ourselves if there might be alternatives which at the end allow us to achieve the same good results but we less effort. It may be that we need to develop new techniques and new ideas to fulfil these requirements. We need to question our treatment concepts.

This course will push you to your limits, thereby providing exactly the right impetus you need to effectively and sustainably train and enhance your manual skills in periodontal microsurgery.

Theoretical and practical aspects of gingival recession in teeth & implants management, comprise the main course contents. Clinical experience in this field dates back several decades and is substantiated by an excellent base of scientific evidence.
