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.
The world most renown Master on Periodontal Regeneration , Dr. Cortellini, and his Team propose this interactive course, powered by 2D and 3D video demonstrations, hands-on training, practical exercises on simulators, and case discussions, aiming at clinicians wishing to upgrade their skills in the application of Biologically Driven Resective Surgery & Crown Lengthening. This unique, highly personalized course consists of an integrated approach designed to build and extend the competence of the practicing periodontist in managing the most challenging of the periodontal lesions through advanced concepts of treatment planning on an individual level. The clinical decision of saving or replacing teeth will be debated and supported by scientific evidence and clinical experience.
