This unique, interactive, three-day program is designed to further your understanding of the importance of periodontology in all phases of dental care. A comprehensive approach toward examination, diagnosis, etiology, treatment planning, clinical management and surgical intervention in daily clinical practice will be presented.
You will have the opportunity to further develop surgical clinical skills through hands-on exercises on dental models. Advanced Suturing Techniques, Various Flap Designs, Guided Bone Regeneration, Mucogingival Surgery, and Esthetic Periodontal Surgery will all be presented in detail.
