Event Details
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.
The 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.
Precise 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.
By 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.
