MODULE 1 : SOFT TISSUE MANAGMENT FOR BONE AUGMENTATION
DAY 1
In time, bone augmentation has moved from highly specialized clinics into the dental office. With the help of modern grafting material, the augmentation volume in the dental office has increased year by year. nHowever, the main issue remains soft tissue closure for high volume augmentation, especially in the posterior mandible and posterior maxilla. Special flap designs and suturing techniques specific to location, have been developed to solve this ongoing soft tissue managment problem. The participants will learn and practice how to solve this soft tissue closure problem according to the location.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Soft tissue tension free – step by step
- Tension free flap adaptation – multiple options
- Suturing techniques wqith and against tension
- adequate soft tissue manipulation for thin and thick biotypes
- Improves soft tissue thickness
- Gain soft tissue elasticity
- Create keratinized gingiva
DAY 2
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Sinus lift
- Soft tissue managment for sinus lift
- Bone augmentation in the mandible PPF, VBF or Steipod
- Bone augmentation in the maxilla-palatal sliding flap
PPF –> Periosteal Pocket Flap
VBF –> Versatil Buccal FlapLEARNING OBJECTIVES

PPF –> Periosteal Pocket Flap
VBF –> Versatil Buccal Flap
MODULE 2 : SOFT TISSUE MANAGMENT FOR THE AESTHETIC ZONE
DAY 1
Aesthetic in implant dentistry is in the actual focus today. In the past, a general tendency to mimic/copy teeth with implants were observed-functionally and aesthetically. Surgical tecxhniques from oral surgery or periodontology were used in implant surgery, however aesthetically unsuccessful. Hence, new incision position, depth, angulaton according to the interproximal bone and soft tissue biotype are necessary. New incision flap designs and suturing techniques have been developed or adjusted to address the aesthetic needs around implants and avoid or correct failures in the aesthetic zone. Preserving the soft tissue or repairing soft tissue failures around implant will be taught.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Incision in the aesthetic xone
- Different flap designs for:
- the aesthetic zone
- GBR
- Soft tissue improvement
- creating keratinized gingiva
- gaining soft tissue elasticity
- EBF aesthetic buccal flap, roll flap, pedicular flap and soft tissue uncovering techniques
- Advanced suturing techniques
DAY 2
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Hands-On for flap design in the aesthetic zone
- Incision and suturing on pig jaws
- Aesthetic soft tissue surgery
- papillae maintenance
- papillae reconstruction
- Papillary illusion
