Course Overview
Advancements in scientific and clinical research have transformed how we address soft tissue and bone deficiencies around teeth, dental implants, and future implant sites. This presentation offers a comprehensive review of therapeutic objectives designed to enhance tissue stability, as well as functional and esthetic outcomes. A focal point is the VISTA (Vestibular Incision Subperiosteal Tunnel Access) technique, which entails cutting-edge principles in wound healing and plastic surgery. This presentation will explore evidence-based approaches such as phenotype modification therapy to increase mucosal thickness, as well as strategies for addressing bone and soft tissue deficiencies through staged and simultaneous approaches. Participants will gain actionable insights into how to pursue regenerative goals to improve periodontal and peri-implant health and stability while advancing patient outcomes.
Course Objectives
1. Recognize the importance of periodontal and peri-implant phenotype in ensuring long-term stability of tissues.
2. Understand the principles and protocols for staged and simultaneous management of bone and soft tissue deficiencies around teeth and implants.
3. Evaluate material selection for bone and soft tissue augmentation and the role of biologics in optimizing regenerative outcomes.
