Minimally invasive soft tissue grafting for teeth and implants

Description

This renowned 2-day workshop on Minimally Invasive Soft Tissue Grafting Techniques for Teeth and Implants is offered by Edward P. Allen, M.D. (DDS, PhD). This course, established more than 15 years ago, has been taken by more than 2,000 students worldwide and has been recognized as the best soft tissue grafting course in the world.

This interactive limited attendance course is intended for periodontists and general dentists with surgical experience who wish to learn more about esthetic periodontal plastic surgical procedures for treatment of soft tissue defects at teeth and implant sites.

You will learn microsurgical instrumentation and the latest minimally invasive surgical and suturing techniques developed by Dr. Allen using allografts and xenografts. The treatment concepts presented are based on current clinical and biologic research. Step-by-step surgical procedures will be presented and discussed. Case presentations, practical hands-on exercises and surgical demonstrations provide in-depth knowledge about the use of soft tissue grafting techniques to achieve predictable coverage of single and multiple recessions, increase in tissue thickness, and extension of the vestibule. Other significant outcome parameters including gain of keratinized tissue will be presented and discussed.
