Soft Tissue Management Around Implants

Delta Dent Academy proudly hosts a three-day intensive course in Soft Tissue Management Around Implants with world-renowned expert Dr. Ricardo Kern. This hands-on training will guide participants through advanced techniques and evidence-based protocols for achieving long-term functional and aesthetic success around implants. A unique opportunity to learn directly from one of the leading names in periodontology, in the historic capital of Athens.

This course is tailored for Oral Surgeons, Periodontists, Implantologists, Prosthodontists, Advanced general practitioners and Clinicians passionate about soft tissue esthetics and precision surgery.

Course Highlights:
 

— From Biology to Prosthetic Management
— CT Graft for Immediate Implants
— FP-1 Management
— Harvesting Mucogingival Grafts
— Tuberosity FGG and de-epithelialized CT graft Sub-epithelial CT Graft
— VIP-CT for Bone regeneration
— VIP-CT for Vertical soft tissue Deficiencies
— Advanced Flaps.
