Description
All the possibilities of using VISTA technique for soft tissue and bone augmentation, from its creator Homa Zadeh!
In the course, you will learn the techniques of:
– periodontal plastic surgery
– autogenous grafts
– soft tissue and bone augmentation
– modular bone plastic
– socket augmentation.
You will analyze all the possibilities of using the VISTA technique in the treatment of periodontal and peri-implant tissue diseases. Additionally, you will learn about all the nuances of using PRF, membranes, and bone-substituting materials during plastic periodontal surgery and implantation.
After the course, you will receive a full set of necessary and relevant techniques for the treatment of periodontal diseases and alveolar ridge defects in any clinical situations.

Lesson 6.Updated VISTA technique
– History of concepts for management of gingival recession defects
– Periodontal phenotype
– Review of classic surgical techniques for the treatment of periodontal diseases
– Advantages of VISTA technique
– Mucosal split-thickness vs mucosal full-thickness flap
– Significance of periodontal phenotype in long-term stability of periodontal tissues
– Decision making on when phenotype modification therapy is necessary and whether augmentation of mucosa and/or alveolar bone augmentation is needed
– The VISTA protocol for phenotype modification therapy.
Recommended for: Periodontists, Implantologists, Oral and maxillofacial surgeons, General dentists.
Lesson 7.Clinical options of VISTA technique
– Material selection:
- Connective tissue (palate and tuberosity)
- Acellular dermis allograft
- Collagen matrix xenograft
- Platelet-fibrin concentrates
- Growth factors.
– Step-by-step video demonstrations of VISTA technique

Recommended for: Periodontists, Implantologists, Oral and maxillofacial surgeons, General dentists.
Lesson 8.Bone augmentation: material selection and treatment planning
– ABC classification
– Risk assessment and classification
– Material selection
– Types of membranes, their differences and functions
– Flap management for effective ridge augmentation
– Tent-pole technique.
Recommended for: Periodontists, Implantologists, Oral and maxillofacial surgeons, General dentists.
Lesson 9.Improving the predictability of alveolar ridge augmentation
– Autogenic bone tissue
– Bone augmentation and graft stabilization
– The effectiveness of perforation of the cortical bone in bone augmentation
– Bone demineralization
