Contemporary Microsurgical Concepts for Optimized Soft Tissue Management

Today, the success of soft tissue regeneration is measured not only by esthetic root coverage, but also by tissue characteristics, absence of scarring, and excellence in post-operative healing.

This Plastic Periodontal Surgery Course is designed to refine your surgical skills, enhance precision, and elevate patient outcomes, helping you meet the highest esthetic expectations when correcting soft tissue defects.

Learning Objectives
➣ The three essentials for microsurgery: minimally invasive techniques and maximal precision, microsurgical instrumentation, and magnification.
➣ Confidence and proficiency in soft tissue management around teeth and implants, emphasizing precise surgical execution and atraumatic wound closure.
➣ Predictable primary intention healing and its clinical advantages, such as reduced morbidity, accelerated healing, absence of scarring, and highly predictable outcomes

Root Coverage, Esthetic Crown Lengthening, Papilla Reconstruction, Peri-implant Defects

Innovative Sophisticated Protocols Simplified through Step-by-Step Workflows

Led by renowned Brazilian experts Drs. Glécio Vaz de Campos and Cláudio Julio Lopes—authors of the Quintessence bestseller “Periodontal and Peri-implant Plastic Microsurgery: Minimally Invasive Techniques with Maximum Precision”
this plastic periodontal surgery course on soft tissue management around teeth and Implants integrates science with contemporary concepts, and advanced clinical protocols with hands-on microsurgical training to elevate patient care and outcomes.

Advance Periodontal and Peri-Implant Surgical Outcomes

Training Method
Participants will train on specially designed, high-fidelity 3D models and observe surgical video demonstrations that replicate common clinical scenarios encountered in daily practice.

Hands-on exercises are conducted under an operative microscope to optimize precision and visual control; however, the techniques taught are directly transferable to routine clinical practice using either magnification loupes or a surgical microscope.

World-class Education for Every Skill Level

No matter where you begin, this course is designed for clinicians at every stage of their professional career — whether you are expanding your treatment portfolio, refining established microsurgical skills, or seeking to remain at the forefront of periodontal therapy. IDEA’s Education is designed to meet clinicians exactly where they are.

Continuous Chairside Coaching at an Exceptional Faculty Ratio

IDEA courses are capped at just 16 participants and supported by multiple instructors, creating a 1:8 (or better) instructor-to-student ratio. This means continuous chair-side coaching, immediate feedback, and true one-on-one moments throughout the course session.

This course on soft tissue grafting was an outstanding learning experience. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and patient, providing clear explanations of each technique step-by-step. The hands-on practice allowed me to refine my skills and gain confidence in performing delicate procedures. I especially appreciated the small class size, which ensured personalized attention and feedback. The materials and tools provided were top-notch, making the learning experience even more effective. By the end of the course, I felt fully equipped to tackle tissue grafting and suturing in real-world scenarios. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking to deepen their understanding and proficiency in these essential surgical techniques!

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
