Innovative Microsurgical Protocols – Simplified through higher Precision
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.

Extremely informative and captivating. Loved the hands-on component the most. This course will change the way I practice periodontics.
This course brings the surgical technical precision of vascular surgery as applied to soft tissue grafting. It can be used for treatment of any soft tissue deficiency around teeth or implants, regardless of the phenotype or amount of keratinized tissues. As a singular stand alone technique to solve all these complex problems, it is worth learning for any surgeon that wants more predictable outcomes.
This was a wonderful course which highlighted new techniques, theory behind the procedures and gave multiple clinical cases. The lab practice helped to solidify skills. The faculty was knowledgeable, helpful and essential to the experience.
I just really enjoy the quality of the instructors and facilities. Learning in a small group setting with like-minded colleagues makes the length of the course and the distance travelled worthwhile.
My attendance at IDEA has been life altering. The courses I have taken have advanced my practice exponentially over the years. I highly recommend IDEA to anyone interested in advancing their surgical and implant skills!
Extremely rewarding experience. The hands-on component is absolutely outstanding. Recommend this soft tissue course to everyone.
No prior experience is required. This course is designed to help dentists at any level become confident using microsurgical techniques. Whether you’re new to magnification or already working with loupes or a microscope, the step-by-step instructions will meet you where you stand and ensure you get to the next level of microsurgery and periodontal surgery in general.
Yes. Each participant will have access to a fully equipped workstation with a surgical microscope. You’ll receive hands-on guidance throughout the training to help you integrate microscope use into your daily clinical work.
The course focuses on root coverage, peri-implant soft tissue augmentation, papilla reconstruction, connective tissue grafting, and flap designs using minimally invasive microsurgical techniques.
This is not a lecture-heavy seminar. It’s a focused, immersive dental continuing education program for 4-days, with intensive hands-on training. You’ll work in small groups, practice on simulation models, and get one-on-one mentoring to ensure you can reproduce every technique in your own practice.
Yes. This program qualifies as part of your continuing dental education and provides ADA and AGD approved CE credits that count toward your licensure and professional development requirements.
Microsurgery uses magnification, fine instruments, and precise movements. This allows more accurate tissue handling, smaller incisions, and less trauma. As a result, healing is often faster and more predictable.
Basic microsurgical suturing skills can be learned with focused training and practice. Mastery takes time and repetition, especially when working with delicate soft tissue. Consistent hands-on practice is key to building control and confidence.
Grafts are carefully harvested using precise incisions to preserve tissue health. They are transferred with minimal handling to maintain blood supply and reduce trauma. This careful approach improves graft survival and healing.
Microsurgery allows better control of tissue thickness, contour, and positioning around implants. This leads to more natural-looking gingival margins, improved symmetry and absence of scarring. Reduced trauma also helps maintain tissue stability over time.
Greater precision leads to absence of scarring, better healing, lower morbidity and fewer complications. Over time, this results in more stable soft tissue, improved esthetics, and longer-lasting clinical results.
