Soft Tissue Grafting Workshop For Functional And Esthetic Needs 2017

Soft Tissue Grafting Workshop For Functional And Esthetic Needs is organized by UCLA School of Dentistry and would be held on Nov 4, 2017 at UCLA School of Dentistry, Los Angeles, California, United States of America.

The target audience for this medical event are Periodontists. The CME conference has been approved with 8 CDE Credits.

Description
Gingival recession is a common clinical problem for which patients often consult with the dental practitioner. Soft tissue grafts are highly predictable procedures to correct mucogingival deficiencies around natural teeth and dental implants. This hands-on workshop uses pig jaw models where participants will be able to perform conventional free gingival grafts as well as subepithelial connective grafts for root coverage. Additionally, participants will practice edentulous ridge augmentation with soft tissue for ovate pontic development on tooth and implant-supported restorations.



Topics Include:
• Diagnosis of mucogingival problems
• Rational for mucogingival surgery
• Indications for conventional mucogingival surgery
• Free gingival graft technique
• Procedures for predictable root coverage
• Connective tissue graft technique
• Management of the deficient edentulous ridge with connective tissue grafts
• Ovate pontics
• Anesthesia, pain management, and post-op care
