Description of the course:

The cornerstone of exceptional success in implantology is the mastery of soft tissue management: the factor that elevates an implant to a seamless outcome.

By employing innovative techniques and a strategic approach, it becomes possible to shape peri-implant tissues that deliver both aesthetic harmony and optimal functionality while also ensuring the prevention and management of complications.

A comprehensive learning experience on innovative techniques

This is a unique opportunity to participate in the first course entirely focused on soft tissue augmentation around implants, designed and led by the renowned Prof. Giovanni Zucchelli with a complete step-by-step documentation of the most relevant techniques, applicable in every possible clinical implantology scenario.

At the end of the course, you will know how to successfully treat real clinical cases:

• Manage reduced keratinized tissue height around implants to minimise gingival recession risks.
• Address thin soft tissues in delayed implant placement with immediate loading scenarios.
• Plan and execute immediate post-extraction implants in critical or aesthetic areas with insufficient soft tissue.
• Treat gingival recessions around implants causing sensitivity and aesthetic issues.
• Resolve cases of exposed soft tissue dehiscence compromising aesthetics and function.
• Prepare patients with inadequate soft tissues before implant placement for optimal outcomes.
• Develop treatment strategies for patients with severe bone loss and periodontitis requiring specific implant approaches.
• Apply advanced soft tissue augmentation techniques for functional and aesthetic success.
• Navigate clinical decision-making for complex soft tissue and implant cases.
