Conference summary
Periodontal plastic and peri-implant plastic surgery can address gingival recession and peri-implant mucosal deficiencies that pose esthetic and functional deficiencies. This presentation and simulation exercises will provide detailed protocol to achieve predictable augmentation of periodontal and peri-implant mucosal tissues. In particular, Vestibular Incision Subperiosteal Tunnel Access (VISTA) will be introduced as a highly predictable technique for periodontal and peri-implant soft tissue regeneration.
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this course and hands-on workshop, participants will have gained knowledge and practical experience with:
- The protocol for VISTA to regenerate periodontal and peri-implant tissues;
- Selection of appropriate material: connective tissue (palate and tuberosity), acellular dermis allograft, collagen matrix xenograft, platelet-fibrin concentrates, growth factors;
- Complications: prevention and management.
