Program
Full immersion into reconstructive and plastic surgery of soft tissues around teeth and implants awaits you in a seminar with the legendary Giovanni Zucchelli!
During the two intensive days of theoretical sessions, you will learn:
– Treatment protocols of single and multiple recessions in the upper and lower jaw
– The author's techniques of mucogingival surgery
– Treatment of recession around implants
– Soft tissue augmentation prior to implant placement.
Participants of the VIP package will have a unique opportunity to attend a live demonstration masterclass.
You will observe the lecturer performing each step and receive detailed, step-by-step explanations of all clinical decisions. This is a chance to see real techniques in action and gain a deeper understanding of the clinician’s workflow — without hands-on participation. |
Doctor Zucchelli and the OHI-S team are waiting for you!
