Contemporary soft tissue grafting Growth factors, autogenous grafts and matrices at teeth and implant sites. Surgery and Science

Dr. Lorenzo Tavelli and osteocom welcome you to the complete online course on cutting-edge protocols and minimally invasive techniques in soft tissue grafting.
With the development of new surgical techniques and the introduction of breakthrough biomaterials, some concepts on periodontal surgery that were strictly applied in the past seem to be not so critical today. Recent advances in tissue engineering and biomaterials, such as acellular dermal matrices and xenogeneic collagen matrices, allow the oral care specialist to offer less invasive alternatives to her/his more traditional treatment strategies. Root coverage, soft tissue phenotype modification at tooth and implant sites, peri-implant maintenance protocols, corrections of implant esthetic complications and periodontal plastic surgery have all been touched by the current treatment trends, aimed at offering contemporary, less invasive and predictable treatment options to a wider audience of patients.
“Contemporary soft tissue grafting” aims at providing to an audience of specialists in periodontics and implant dentistry as well as general practitioners a perspective on the latest innovations in periodontal and peri-implant surgery, transfering effectively the scientific rationale, the everyday clinical use and the concrete, practical advantages offered by their implementation.
Topics covered in the course:

Indications, guidelines and protocols for minimally invasive soft tissue grafting around natural teeth and implants
How to effectively perform minimally invasive advanced soft tissue augmentation procedures with novel matrices and growth factors
Predictable prevention and successful management of peri-implant complications in the esthetic zone
The rationale behind the next generation of tissue engineering and the sinergy with soft tissue grafting protocols

At the end of the course, you will:

Become proficient in periodontal and peri-implant soft tissue management
Understand when and how to use soft tissue substitutes VS autogenous soft tissue grafts
Improve your skill set with innovative soft tissue grafting procedures
Promote soft tissue surgery in your everyday practice by proposing less invasive treatment options to a wider audience of patients

Who you will learn from:
Dr. Lorenzo Tavelli

 is full-time faculty member in the Division of Periodontology at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine’s Department of Oral Medicine and Immunity, and former clinical lecturer in the Department of Periodontics and Oral Medicine at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. His activity focuses on clinical research in periodontal and peri-implant plastic surgery, with specific emphasis on the use of novel biomaterials and growth factors as alternatives to autogenous graft for reducing patient morbidity.

Who the course is for:

All specialists in periodontics and implant dentistry, as well as general practitioners, who are eager to improve their knowledge and effectively add cutting-edge techniques to their surgical skill set in soft tissue grafting.
