IN-PERSON EVENT

What to expect

Periodontal surgery is a key component of comprehensive dental care, offering solutions for managing advanced gum disease, improving aesthetics, and supporting restorative outcomes. For general dental practitioners, gaining confidence in basic surgical principles can significantly enhance patient care and broaden clinical capabilities.

This new and exciting hands-on introduction to periodontal surgery is designed to demystify the fundamentals of periodontal surgery, focusing on practical techniques, anatomical considerations, and clinical decision-making. Through guided exercises and case discussions, delegates will learn how to perform basic surgical techniques like flap reflection, osseous recontouring, and graft placement.  Whether you're looking to refine your skills or take the first step into surgical periodontics, this event provides an interactive environment to build competence and confidence.

All instruments and materials will be provided. Delegates are requested to bring loupes with them for the hands-on sessions.

Please note, the hands-on sessions will be conducted on pigs jaws.

  • Learn to classify periodontal disease using the 2017 world workshop definition
