GINGIVAL RECESSION DEFECTS
Characteristics and treatment modalities from basic to advanced
LEARNING OUTCOMES The objective of the course is to introduce students to the management of gingival recession defects, their etiology, classification and treatment modalities, from basic to advanced techniques. At the end of the seminar, the students will be able to identify and diagnose mucogingival defects, understand why and when to proceed with treatment and what outcomes can be expected depending on the patients pre-surgical status. They will also learn key communication narratives to help their patients understand the value of healthy gums. Students will learn treatment guidelines, how to perform different root coverage surgical techniques and harvest sub-epithelial connective tissue.
PART 1 THEORETICAL PART • Characteristics and classification of gingival recession defects • Etiological factors • Treatment strategies and prognosis • Microsurgical instrumentation • Coronal Advanced Flap: different flap designs, indications • Sub-epithelial connective tissue graft harvesting procedures: anatomical and technical aspects • Tunneling technique: flap design, indication PART 2 HANDS-ON Students will practice on fresh animal jaw models, with microsurgical hand instruments, resorbable and nonresorbable sutures. • Full and partial thickness flap management • Coronally Advanced Flap technique (classic and modified technique) • Different sub-epithelial connective tissue graft harvesting techniques • Tunneling technique • Different suturing methods
