Soft tissue management is critical to the long-term success of both dental implants and natural teeth.
Without stable, healthy soft tissues, even well-placed implants and restorations are at risk of aesthetic failure, inflammation, recession, mobility, and peri-implant disease.
This comprehensive 3-day course is designed to give clinicians the knowledge, confidence, and hands-on skills required to achieve predictable soft tissue stability, aesthetics, and function around both implants and natural dentition.
Led by Prof. Puria Parvini, with over 25 years of academic teaching and surgical experience, the course combines biological principles, clinical decision-making, and practical grafting techniques you can immediately apply in practice.
What You Will Learn
- Comprehensive Soft Tissue Management: From diagnosis and treatment planning to surgical execution for implants and natural teeth.
- Hands-On Soft Tissue Grafting Techniques Step-By-Step: Master grafting procedures to correct soft tissue deficiencies and improve stability, aesthetics, and function.
- Complication Prevention & Management: Learn how to prevent, identify, and manage peri-implantitis, recession, inflammation, and soft tissue instability.
- Surgical Augmentation Procedures: Understand the indications, advantages, and limitations of different soft tissue augmentation techniques
- Expert-Led Education: Benefit from Prof. Puria Parvini‘s extensive experience in implantology and periodontal surgery, combined with decades of academic teaching experience, delivered through clear, step-by-step guidance.
