Upcoming courses

This Advanced Training Workshop is a four-day immersion on the use of Operative Microscopes in Periodontal Regenerative Surgery to improve surgical outcomes and reduce patient morbidity. The use of this device contributes to the application of innovative clinical concepts and surgical tips. The paradigm shift to periodontal regeneration, higher esthetic standard, increased indications in mucogingival surgery propels the adoption of this advanced technology. It is primary responsibility and mission of the Cortellini Perio Academy to conduct high-quality research and high quality education to understand therapeutic benefits of the use of the operative microscope, disseminate micro-surgical knowledge through our educational structure involving masterly classes and hands-on training, and collaborate with the industry to develop user-friendly and efficient devices and instruments.

This Advanced Training Workshop will face the most challenging clinical problem in dentistry: the treatment of molars with furcation involvement. The “furcation dilemma” is still an open question with some clear answers and many dark sides. The aim of this 4-day full immersion workshop is to discuss the non-surgical and surgical approaches to give clinicians predictable solutions for the treatment of teeth with furcation involvement. The course will be empowered with ample discussion on the anatomic and diagnostic parameters to set a treatment plan. The “core” of the workshop will focus on detailed description of surgical concepts, surgical techniques, clinical tips, complications and failures. Lectures, 2D and 3D video demonstrations, hands-on training, practical exercises on simulators, and case discussion, will allow clinicians to upgrade their skills in the treatment of teeth with furcation involvement.

This Advanced Training Workshop will include many innovative clinical concepts and very many detailed clinical tips. The course is a 4 days immersion in the revisited and updated world of Biologically Driven Resective Surgery & Crown Lengthening. Preparation of the patient, design of the surgical approach, flap management, bone surgery, supracrestal tissue preservation and suturing techniques will be discussed in details. The novelties in the concept of “Biologic Width” will be shared, along with the relationship between the periodontal tissues and the cervical margin of restoration. The course will be empowered with detailed description of novel concepts, detailed clinical tips and analysis of pitfalls, complications and failures. The problems will be analyzed and the most advanced solutions will be discussed and shown on Dr Cortellini cases. Lectures, 2D and 3D video demonstrations, hands-on training, practical exercises on simulators, and case discussion, will allow clinicians to upgrade their skills in the application of resective surgery.
