Lecture
New aspects of soft tissue management for bone augmentation
In the new digital world very little has been changed for the manipulation of the soft tissues. The planning of implant positioning, the amount of bone grafting and the delivery of the prosthetic work can be done digitally. However, the manipulation of the soft tissue for a bone or tissue augmentation have not being influenced. Still planning for guided bone regeneration and the amount of necessary soft tissue manipulation can be visualized digitally.
The lecture will focus on the analog execution of incision flap, design and suture in the aesthetic zone and the non-aesthetic zone, from concept to execution of new developed surgical techniques for achieving predictable result. In these cases, soft tissue assessment before surgery is key for success.
Hands-on course
Flap design for Vertical augmentation in the Mandible and Maxilla
Puropse
Over the years we realized that specific skills in handling tissues are the priority in implant therapy, adjusting soft tissue handling to the specific anatomy and biotype of each patient. For this reason, this hands-on course focus to teach these specific, valid techniques during surgery and prosthetics in a unique comprehensive way.
Main Topics
Vertical bone loss represents a major surgical challenge in the implant treatment of the posterior mandible, due to anatomical factors and technical difficulties. For this reason, special techniques are necessary for the lingual, buccal and palatal flap management. A proper management of the soft tissues is a crucial point for the success in of this kind of regenerative procedure.
