SUMMARY:CODA & Vertical Interface Masterclass\, Architecting Aesthetic Stability from Design to Tissue Control - Dr John Yu-Cheng Chu
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a three-day CODA & Vertical Interface Masterclass\nArchitecting Aesthetic Stability from Design to Tissue Control with Dr John Yu-Cheng Chu \nThe CODA & Vertical Interface Masterclass is a three-day advanced programme designed for clinicians seeking greater control over aesthetic architecture and long-term soft tissue stability. \n This masterclass integrates anatomically driven smile design with vertical soft tissue augmentation. Participants will explore CODA (Cosmeticus Odontologica Dissignatio Anatomica) — a structured framework for aesthetic planning within biological limits — alongside VIBE (Vertical Incision Bilaminar Elevation) and MPT (Modified Platform Technique)\, advanced protocols for predictable papilla augmentation and soft tissue volume enhancement. \n   \nThe programme centres on transforming compromised tissue conditions into stable biological support\, enabling the transition from TU (Tissue Under-support) to TN (Tissue with Normal support). \nDesigned for experienced clinicians\, this course presents a coherent clinical pathway from structural design to soft tissue stability in complex aesthetic cases. \n     \nA Unique Integration \nIn most international events\, CODA and VERTICAL are delivered as separate programmes. Cities such as Amsterdam\, Brussels and Vilnius have hosted CODA as a standalone structural framework course\, while Lisbon\, Seoul and London selected VERTICAL as a dedicated microsurgical soft tissue programme. Even in Vilnius\, the two systems were delivered independently across separate visits. \nIt is uncommon for both disciplines to be combined into a single event. \nFor Sydney 2026\, at A/Prof Christopher Ho’s request and in the spirit of collaboration\, Dr Chu has agreed to integrate CODA and VERTICAL into one comprehensive three-day masterclass. This makes the Sydney edition particularly distinctive — offering a complete and integrated pathway from structural aesthetic design to soft tissue stability. \n     \nOutline: \nDay 1 – CODA: Anatomical Smile Architecture \nMorning: \n\nIntroduction to CODA (Cosmeticus Odontologica Dissignatio Anatomica)\nSmile design within anatomical limitations\nTooth morphology\, proportion\, and spatial control\nGingival architecture and structural boundaries\n\nAfternoon: \n\nPink–white integration strategy\nCase analysis: design to execution\nFrom digital planning to biological feasibility\nClinical decision-making framework\n\nDay 2 – Vertical Soft Tissue Augmentation (VIBE / MPT) \nMorning: \n\nBiological rationale for vertical tissue enhancement\nVIBE (Vertical Incision Bilaminar Elevation): principles and indications\nCase selection and limitations\n\nAfternoon: \nWet-Lab on Pig Jaw under the Microscope \nSupervised participant practice covering VIBE (Vertical Incision Bilaminar Elevation) incision design and bilaminar elevation\, MPT (Modified Platform Technique) vertical augmentation\, and microsurgical suturing protocols. Principles of tissue thickness management\, contour stability\, TU to TN transition\, and complication prevention are integrated as live commentary throughout the wet-lab. \nDay 3 – Integration: Design to Tissue Stability \nMorning: \n\nLinking morphology and tissue volume\nSequencing: design → augmentation → restoration\nRestorative–periodontal interface control\n\nAfternoon: \n\nAdvanced case presentations\nLong-term stability analysis\nClinical problem-solving and discussion\nQ&A\n\n     \nCancellation Policy: \nA minimum of one month’s notice is required for cancellations.

SUMMARY:Oral Soft Tissue Reconstruction - contemporary strategies for biological and esthetic long-term success - Dr Otto Zuhr
DESCRIPTION:Join world-renowned periodontist Dr Otto Zuhr for an intensive\, 2-day program dedicated to advancing knowledge and clinical skills in oral soft tissue reconstruction. \nThe structural composition and aesthetic appearance of the peri-implant mucosa emerges continuously as one of the key points in modern implant dentistry. While in the posterior area biological aspects with a keratinized\, thick and attached peri-implant mucosa are clearly in the center of interest\, it is in the aesthetic zone its harmonic and natural look. \nPrecise planning of the initial incisions\, the surgical flap preparation\, the flap mobilization and the final suturing technique for flap stabilization becomes essential to consider these aforementioned factors\, presently acknowledged as significant and indisputable parameters of success. Furthermore\, understanding the histologic composition of the palatal mucosa as the predestinated donor site for soft tissue autograft harvesting as well as understanding their biological interactions around teeth and implants in the course of early wound healing becomes fundamental for up to date soft tissue management and for addressing higher patients’ expectations. \nBy using different training models\, current surgical techniques to successfully establish peri- implant mucosal conditions fulfilling up to date requirements are demonstrated step by step and in detail. The low number of participants guarantees the best possible learning effect by allowing intensive supervision and mentoring by the instructor. \nProgram \nThursday\, February 4th\, 2027 \n8:30 am Registration \n9.00 – 10.30 am Lecture: Plastic-esthetic periodontal surgery – lessons to learn \n10.30 – 11.00 am Morning Tea \n11.00 – 12.30 pm Lecture: Peri-implant soft tissue reconstruction \n12.30 – 1.30 pm Lunch Break \n1.30 – 3.00 pm Lecture: Pontic site development – proven concepts revisited \n3.00 – 3.30 pm Afternoon Tea \n3.30 – 5.00 pm Lecture: Outlooks and perspectives for surgical papilla reconstruction \nFriday\, February 5th\, 2027 – Hands-On Training \n9.00 – 11.00 am Hands-On: Pig-jaws: treatment of multiple gingival recessions with a combined coronally advanced tunnel flap and a connective tissue graft harvested with a “single incision” technique \n11.00 – 11.30 am Morning Tea \n11.30 – 1.30 pm Hands-On: Pig-jaws: Implant uncoverage with a combined coronally advanced tunnel flap\, a palatal peninsula flap\, the “saloon door”-technique and a connective tissue graft harvested from the maxillary tuberosity \n1.30 – 2.30 pm Lunch Break \n2.30 – 4.30 pm Hands-On: Pig-jaws: Papilla reconstruction with a combined coronally advanced tunnel flap\, a detached palatal peninsula flap and a customized de-epithelialized free gingival graft \n4.30 – 5.00 pm Discussion & Trouble Shooting \nCancellation Policy: \nA minimum of one month’s notice is required for cancellations.

SUMMARY:The Art of Predictable Full Mouth Rehabilitations - Dr Sandra Hulac
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nJoin Dr Sandra Hulac – Clinical Instructor at the Kois Center in Seattle and Accredited Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry – as she shares her approach to planning and executing full mouth rehabilitations. Drawing on the principles taught by Dr John Kois\, Dr Hulac will guide you through designing predictable\, testable treatment plans using full mouth injection moulding to “road-test” occlusions over time\, immediately stabilizing breaking down dentitions and allowing patients segment final treatment. The hands-on component of the course\, limited to 20 participants\, will utilise upper and lower typodonts to simulate a comprehensive full-mouth rehabilitation workflow. This provides a realistic\, practice-oriented experience that closely replicates clinical conditions and allows participants to develop a structured\, predictable approach to full-mouth treatment planning and execution. \n   \nCourse Synopsis: Managing patients who require extensive dental treatment can be daunting. These complex cases not only demand detailed\, systematic planning but also pose the challenge of predicting how a newly designed occlusion will function over time. Adding to the pressure\, financial and scheduling constraints often prevent patients from committing to full treatment—putting their oral health at further risk. \n \nNATURE OF THE COURSE: \nDAY 1: (THERE IS AN OPTION TO ATTEND LECTURE ONLY) \nAM Lectures \n• Introduction into treatment planning protocols developed by Dr Jonh Kois: Data Collection\, Risk Assessment\, Risk Reduction Dentistry \n• Introduction into occlusal concepts taught by Dr. John Kois: Recognise and diagnose occlusal risk\, Therapeutic Occlusion: The 3 Ps\, Centric Registration (Leaf Gage or Kois Deprogrammer) \nPM Lectures \n• The Material and Scientific Data \n• Matrix Fabrication \n• Case Workflow \n• Case Examples and Survival \n• Transitioning of Cases \n• Beginner Cases/Advanced Cases \nDAY 2: Workshop \n• Injection moulding Teeth 16-26 and 36-46 \n• Clean Up and Rough Polish \nDAY 3: Workshop \n• Occlusal Adjustment of typodonts \n• Cut back\, Staining and Over injection 12-22 \n• Treatment of dark teeth \n• Texture and Fine Polish \n  \nCancellation Policy: \nA minimum of one month’s notice is required for cancellations.
