KIWImethod ® Workshop: Minimally Invasive Gingival Grafting
George K. Merijohn, DDS
Gingival recession presents challenging treatment considerations dentists face every day. Fear of post-surgical pain, bleeding and sometimes unpredictable results associated with conventional grafting surgery can cause dentists to hesitate in treatment. This KIWImethod ® workshop is the engine for change you’ve been looking for to learn minimally invasive, practical and proven gingival grafting for root coverage and non-root coverage. It’s a proven approach used to train post-doctoral periodontal residents in precision grafting techniques. Autogenous gingival grafting is the gold standard, and KIWImethod ® minimally invasive recipient site preparation and non-palatal tissue harvesting lessen post-operative bleeding/discomfort and improve outcomes.
