Course Intent

     This course is designed to give clinicians the confidence to perform soft tissue grafts, appropriate flap design for full and partial thickness flaps, suturing and advanced bone grafting procedures upon returning to their offices. Our structure is a combination of in-depth lecture, over the shoulder demonstration and a hands-on workshop with models and fresh frozen cadaver heads on advanced bone grafting for implant placement. One of the unique features of our course is that we provide cone beam CT scans and Virtual Implant Placement software interpretation of every cadaver head to simulate a realistic learning experience. This is the closest thing to performing live surgery!

     Each participant will receive a comprehensive manual which compiles PowerPoint slides from the lecture. This makes following the lecture more enjoyable than having to take detailed notes, and provides an excellent reference back in the office after the course. Each participant will also receive a personalized monogrammed scrub which can be worn in the lab, as well as a soft sided attaché.
 
Course Objectives

     After completing this course the clinician should be able to treatment plan dental implants based on prosthetic classifications, divisions of available bone and classifications of bone density. The surgeon will be able to provide appropriate manipulation and grafting of the soft tissues, and have exposure to the practical use of cone beam software (Virtual Implant Placement). Finally, the implant surgeon will have a more thorough understanding of advanced bone grafting procedures which will ultimately improve implant success, longevity and esthetics for their patients..

Recession Grafting Surgery
“Thinking Outside the Palate©”

Most graft surgery for recession treatment can now be done without palate surgery to harvest free gingival or connective tissue grafts.

Acellular dermis can be used in a simplified technique without tunneling.

New placental membranes bring more options to treating recession defects due to lost attachment. They are easily placed, do not require suturing, and heal without infection or inflammation.

Course Objectives for Participants:
  • Recognize the prevalence of recession defects in general practice.
  • Review anatomy and blood supply of gingival soft tissues.
  • Understand where to use specific perioplastic graft techniques to treat recession sites gaining reattachment and root coverage.
  • Observe new soft tissue surgery techniques with video.
  • Understand the value and use of biological growth factors to enhance soft tissue surgery.
  • Enable participants to treat multiple recession sites in different quadrants in a single surgical visit.
Speaker: Steve Wallace, DDS MHS
4 Hours C.E. Credits
Dr. Wallace received his B.S. in pharmacology and completed his DDS at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was a faculty member at U.N.C., and received his Masters Degree with Honors in Periodontics from the Medical University of South Carolina. Dr. Wallace is an active member of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and the American Academy of Periodontology. He has published original research in Implant Dentistry and the Journal of Advanced Clinical Dentistry on bone and soft tissue grafting, and lectures at teaching institutions and national professional meetings.

Redefining Perioplastic Surgery
“Thinking Outside the Palate©”
Most perioplastic surgery for grafting can now be done without palate surgery for free gingival grafts or connective tissue grafts. Acellular dermis can be used in a simplified technique without the necessity of tedious and time consuming tunneling. Placental membrane is a new product that brings more options to treating recession defects due to lost attachment. It is easily placed, does not require suturing, and heals without infection or inflammation.
Course Objectives for Participants:
  • Recognize the prevalence of recession defects in our patient population.
  • Describe gingival soft tissue anatomy, blood supply and wound healing.
  • Utilize soft tissue manipulation with incisions and flap design for predictable graft results.
  • Understand the contributory factors in root coverage grafting.
  • Understand the value and use of biological growth factors in soft tissue surgery.
  • Describe the indications for gingival grafts, connective tissue, acellular dermis, and palatal derived membranes for attachment gain, root coverage and implant augmentation.
  • Diagnose and treat recession and lost attachment sites with soft tissue surgery.
  • Predict and prevent soft tissue grafting complications.
