The ULTIMATE Grafting & Atraumatic Extraction

(3-day Workshop)

Soft Tissue Deformities & Gingival Recession Classification. Ridge Defect Classification and Atrophic Ridge Management.

Consistent & Predictable Flap Management with deep understanding of Advanced  Suturing techniques & Primary Closure is the KEY to Successful Soft tissue grafting and Bone Grafting.

NEVER Again Worry:
1- About graft site opening up.

2- Soft tissue graft not taking.

3- Bone graft site being inadequate.

With your knowledge in the foundation of implant dentistry in good shape, the next step is to build that hard and soft tissue foundation surgically, that you can rely on. This module covers:

1. Basic anatomy of the suture, advanced suturing techniques (horizontal mattress, sling and compression sutures etc...)
2. Atraumatic extraction and ridge augmentation (anterior and posterior teeth)
3. Flap design and material selection (bone grafts and membranes)
4. Management of soft tissue around dental implants (soft tissue grafting, management of the papilla and indications for implant temporization) 

You’ll finish this course with a deep appreciation for foundational support for long term success and a plan to make it a reality in your practice.
