Course Description:
Dental esthetics is dependent on specifically defined relationships between the soft tissue, the teeth or implants, and the underlying osseous scaffold. A critical soft tissue dimension is required for long-term predictable support of the gingival margin, crestal bone and restorative esthetics.
Part and parcel of thorough dental evaluation today is to determine the gingival phenotype of the individual. Thickness of the gingival zone of attached tissue plays an important role in maintaining crestal bone, optimizing tissue color and developing the long-term health and esthetics in dental treatment of any kind. The exact determination of the location of the underlying bone through bone sounding will be discussed as it acts as prognostic indicator of future vertical soft tissue levels.
Soft tissue grafting techniques, new regenerative materials and bioactivators (PRGF, PRF fibrin) will be discussed. The expanding role of allograft materials (ACDM) and when to utilize them will be suggested. The ability of these combined protocols to alter the soft tissue profile around natural teeth, implants, and edentulous ridges will be reviewed as to its critical role in “Complete Dental Esthetics and Health.”
This hands-on course will highlight the 3 most utilized soft tissue procedures in clinical practice, the socket graft, ridge augmentation and root coverage procedures. It will teach in detail and simplify the process of site evaluation, critical anatomy, flap design, harvest techniques and suturing. The Tunneling and Pouch Techniques will be specifically highlighted.
Course Objectives:
- To learn basic Surgical Anatomy and Incision Techniques in Soft Tissue Surgery
- To apply 3 commonly used soft tissue grafting techniques in clinical practice
- Autogenous Tissue Harvest Techniques
- Tunnel Technique for Root Coverage
- Pouch Technique for Pontic Site Augmentation
- To learn modified suturing methods to secure flaps and grafts
- To review complications and post-op protocols
