Advanced Soft Tissue Management around Teeth and Implants

This course is designed for general practitioners and interested clinicians to provide them with the essential knowledge and hands-on experience needed to improve patient outcomes in soft tissue management around teeth and implants.

Learning objectives:

• Accurately diagnose mucogingival defects, understand their etiologies, and explore the science behind soft tissue management.
• Development of a decision-making framework for soft tissue management around teeth and implants.
• Learning flap design and management of recipient sites for single or multiple tooth recessions.
• Learning harvesting techniques of donor sites including free gingival grafts and various techniques for connective tissue grafts.
• Compare autogenous tissues with biomaterials used as alternatives in soft tissue management.
• Refine advanced suturing techniques to improve clinical outcomes in soft tissue surgeries.
• Understand strategies for preventing and managing complications following soft tissue procedures.
• Hands-On Training: A two-day hands-on workshop utilizing pig jaws to practice:
  • Free gingival graft and connective tissue graft techniques
  • Advanced suturing techniques

This 3-day program (30 CE) delivers a comprehensive understanding of the principles of atraumatic extraction, bone grafting, and immediate dental implant placement. We discuss the different bone grafting and membrane materials and techniques. You will leave this program with the ability to comfortably select cases for immediate extraction, grafting, and implant placement. Our program is evidence based, with a focus on shedding practical tips and tricks, and hands-on training, to allow you to provide effective and efficient implant therapy to your patients.

Learning Objectives

• Atraumatic extraction principles
• Proper instruments for treatment
• Bone biology & socket healing principles
• Mechanical extraction systems 
• Bone grafting materials & principles
• Membrane materials & principles 
• Understanding which techniques to use when
• Implant Placement (Hands-on)
• Immediate implant placement (Hands-on)
• Basic suturing techniques & flap design (Hands-on)
• Socket Grafting & Ridge augmentation (Hands-on)

This small group comprehensive 2-Day program focuses on the merits of embracing Immediacy as a patient centered implant prosthodontic treatment solution. Through a series of live and previously recorded surgeries, formal presentations, group discussions and hands-on training, dental teams will become familiar with the merits of Immediacy Protocols for both the single tooth and full arch solutions. Particular emphasis will be placed on how best to have the entire team embrace and advocate for Immediacy Protocols to be adopted in dental practices.

This 2 day didactic and hands-on program is for the GP who wants to improve their fundamental surgical skill set. Participants will be able to experience a wide variety of
surgical procedures typically seen in a GP office, but the emphasis will be on developing effective clinical skills in flaps, suturing and extractions.

This course is limited attendance with a low instructor to student ratio and will take place in our simulation lab where you will learn on phantom heads, special dental models, and pig mandibles.

Learning Objectives

• Effectively assess patient and procedural risks
• Develop proficiency in the selection and use of surgical instruments
• Learn and apply surgical approaches to minimize tissue traumaManage
• Recognize and manage complications

Simulation lab experience will include:

• Flap design
• Suturing (interrupted, continuous locking, figure of 8)
• Biopsy techniques
• Simple extractions (forceps and elevators)
•  Surgical extractions (bone and soft tissue sparing)
• Impactions (lower mesio-angular and horizontal)
• Root removal
• Incision and Drainage (drain placement)
• Oral-antral penetration repair (sliding flaps)
• Tongue and lip tie revision
• Socket preservation and basic GB
• Sinus bump (Summers procedure)
• Connective tissue grafting
• Introduction to implant placement (guided and freehand)

Implant Surgery & Restoratively Driven Treatment

• Treatment planning & Nobel Clinician
• Anatomical considerations & biology
• Proper implant placement in 4 dimensions
• Single tooth implant surgery (Hands-on)
• Multiple tooth implant surgery
• Edentulous implant surgery 
• Implant placement (Hands-on) 
• Basic suturing techniques & flap      design (Hands-on)
• Bone physiology & healing • Implant      pharmacology 
• Stage 2 implant surgery & soft tissue      considerations (Hands-on)

This 2-day program will show case all the steps involved in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and execution of immediate provisionalization for the full-arch hands-on training, you will understand this remarkable same day solution for completely edentulous patients and those with a terminal dentition.

• Case selection and treatment planning.
• Pre-operative, surgical and prosthodontic workflows. 
• Hands-on experience for the conversion of a removable complete denture into a fixed immediately inserted transitional prosthesis.
