Description
In an increasingly multidisciplinary field of dentistry, especially in the anterior region, the interaction between periodontics and aesthetics is key to success. In today's aesthetic dentistry, periodontal plastic surgery techniques are a fundamental tool for successfully meeting our patients' expectations and offering them high-quality results.
This course, taught by the Dr. Sergio García BellostaIs aimed at dentists and periodontists Interested in improving their soft tissue management on teeth in cases of gingival recession, gummy smile, or volume deficiencies, as well as introducing minimally invasive, predictable, and reproducible mucogingival surgery techniques into their aesthetic rehabilitation protocols.
This is a course with a very practical approach , focused on scientifically validated techniques, with a solid theoretical foundation, high-quality audiovisual content, and practical exercises in artificial and animal models with expert clinicians in a very small student-tutor ratio.
For practical sessions, each student will have access to magnifying glasses, specific plastic microsurgery instruments, an animal model, a specific plastic surgery typodont, and personalized audiovisual support (step-by-step surgical videos). Students may contribute their own clinical cases for discussion and surgical planning during the course.
Objectives
- To train students in the management of soft tissues on teeth, both for recession coverage, aesthetic crown lengthening, or reconstruction of pontic areas combined with prosthetics.
- Provide participants with work protocols to integrate plastic surgery into their aesthetic rehabilitation treatment plans with a multidisciplinary approach.
- Provide students with step-by-step surgical protocols for each technique, with real-life cases documented with high-quality photographs and videos.
- Train each surgical procedure using an animal model and specific typodonts to facilitate immediate application in real patients the day after the course.
