Description

The mucogingival approach to periodontal regeneration

This 9-hour video course offers an in-depth overview of the latest techniques and approaches for treating gingival recessions and intrabony defects — from biological rationale to clinical indications and step-by-step surgical protocols.

At the heart of the program lies the evolution of the Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) and the Vertical Coronally Advanced Flap (V-CAF) for treating single and multiple gingival recessions in both the mandible and maxilla. A special emphasis is placed on soft tissue manipulation, connective tissue harvesting, and their critical role in achieving long-term stability and root coverage.

Prof. Zucchelli also explores the diagnosis of vertical bony defects and the Connective Tissue Wall Technique: the cutting-edge protocol that allows for simultaneous periodontal regeneration and mucogingival enhancement in one surgical procedure.

Topics covered in the course

• Treatment protocols for single and multiple gingival recessions
• Combined mucogingival and restorative treatment approach
• Step-by-step gingival and connective tissue harvesting techniques
• The role and management of keratinized tissue
• The mucogingival approach to periodontal regeneration
• Cutting-edge techniques: CAF, V-CAF, Connective Tissue Wall
• Diagnosis of deep intrabony defects

At the end of the course, you’ll be able to

• Correctly diagnose and classify gingival recession defects and associated anatomical challenges
• Perform the appropriate surgical flap design based on clinical indications
• Harvest and manage gingival and connective tissue grafts with precision and predictability, including extra-oral de-epithelialization
• Combine mucogingival surgery with periodontal regeneration in one surgery
• Improve primary wound closure and soft tissue stability for long-term success
• Manage surgical complications and ensure esthetic and functional outcomes
• Achieve esthetic and functional outcomes with predictable protocols
• Confidently apply the Connective Tissue Wall Technique in challenging cases
