Periodontal and Peri-implant Plastic Microsurgery - Minimally Invasive Techniques with Maximum Precision
Web video
Overview

Periodontal and Peri-Implant Plastic Microsurgery

Root coverage Peri-implant tissues Papilla reconstruction

The current challenge in periodontics is to meet patients’ high esthetic demands in the search for correction of periodontal and peri-implant soft tissue deficiencies.

Nowadays, success of plastic periodontal surgical is evaluated by the quality of the postoperative period, the absence of scars, and the predictability of outcomes.

Benefit from the Clinical Advantages of Plastic Periodontal Microsurgery

The outstanding clinical results of plastic periodontal surgery are possible due to the development of minimally invasive procedures and accurate techniques that seek the least trauma to tissue and wound closure.

Therefore, to achieve the treatment goals of primary intention healing and its clinical advantages like low morbidity, fast healing, absence of scarring, and highest predictability in outcomes, these three requirements are conditional.

> minimal invasive techniques and primary wound closure
> atraumatic microsurgical instruments
> highest precision with magnification – loupes or microscope

Experience significant improvement in your surgical results

In this dental course, the leading Brazilian periodontists, Glécio Campos and Claudio Lopez will teach you the mastership of periodontal microsurgery. You will learn the latest concepts and innovative, sophisticated techniques for root coverage, peri-implant soft tissues and papilla reconstruction.

The Microsurgical techniques will be systematically taught through models that realistically replicate clinical scenarios.

You will leave this course with significantly elevated skills to achieve precision, increased predictability, and outstanding esthetic results in our plastic periodontal microsurgery.

Magnification – Surgical loupes or Operative microscope

During the course, training is conducted with an operative microscope, but the techniques are applicable in everyday practice with either loupes or a microscope.

Frequently Asked Questions

This course is ideal for General Practitioners, Pediatric Dentists, and Orthodontists who want to expand their expertise in early prevention orthodontics. Whether you plan to treat young patients directly or refer them appropriately, the course equips you with the knowledge to make accurate diagnostic decisions and initiate early treatment when necessary.

Unlike traditional orthodontics, which often focuses on visible signs and delayed intervention, this course introduces a functional, evidence-based approach centered around Sato’s Craniomandibular Orthodontics. It emphasizes early diagnostics, physiological mandibular positioning, and vertical dimension control to guide natural growth and reduce the need for surgery or extractions later on.
The course is focused on treating children of any age—from early milk dentition through mixed dentition stages. You’ll learn how to identify early signs of dental and skeletal malocclusion and implement treatment at the right developmental stage.

This treatment concept is effective in managing a wide range of malocclusions and issues such as:

  • Class II and III Malocclusions

  • Crossbites

  • Mandibular Lateral Displacement (MLD)

  • High or Low Angle Skeletal Growth Patterns

  • TMJ Disorders in children
    By addressing these issues early, the approach significantly reduces the need for future orthognathic surgery and premolar extractions.

After the course, you’ll gain:

  • A new, efficient treatment concept that avoids removable appliances and prioritizes functional diagnostics

  • Evidence-based techniques that support skeletal and dental development

  • Enhanced ability to protect the TMJ and improve overall physical health

  • Immediate tools to implement early orthodontic treatment and become a leading provider in your area for pediatric dental care
