Course Description
Mucogingival surgical procedures are geared towards correcting or eliminating anatomical, developmental or traumatic tissue aberrations and deformities affecting the gingiva, the alveolar mucosa or both.
Whether addressing the natural dentition or dental implants, emerging evidence is supporting the critical importance of precise and delicate tissue manipulation under enhanced magnification and illumination tools. Biomechanical principles associated with flap design and suturing techniques are intimately related to adequate wound healing and successful outcomes in mucogingival therapy.
Educational Objectives
- Visualize the biomechanical benefits of precise soft tissue management afforded by the microsurgical approach.
- Understand the different biotextiles and biomaterials available for performing microsurgical procedures in periodontal and dental implant related therapy.
- Become knowledgeable about the specifically designed microsurgical armamentarium that facilitates performing tasks under the operating microscope.
