Innovative Mucogingival Techniques for Soft-Tissue Management at Teeth and Implants

Innovative Mucogingival Techniques for Soft-Tissue Management at Teeth and Implants is organized by McGill Continuing Dental Education and will be held from Sep 19 - 20, 2026 at McGill University Faculty of Dentistry, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Description:
Join us for a two-day in-person lecture and hands-on workshop with Dr. Olivier Carcuac, to explore two key topics: innovative mucogingival techniques to treat gingival recession affecting the lower incisors and soft-tissue management around implants.

Considered to be one of the most challenging clinical scenarios to treat, Dr. Carcuac will explore how such critical anatomical factors can be overcome to achieve complete root coverage with a modified version of the free gingival graft. The biological motive, step-by-step procedure, and overall potential will be shown through clinical cases and discussion around a Randomized Clinical Trial comparing FGG and Mod-FGG.

Dr. Carcuac will explore how optimal esthetic outcomes with dental implants often depends on a complex relationship between surgical preparation, implant placement and distribution, soft tissue management in the surgical and restorative phases, and the final prosthesis design. This section of the workshop will focus on strengthening key concepts in soft-tissue augmentation, such as anatomical characteristics, soft tissue responses, and clinical skills, where the Expanded Mesh-FGG Technique will be introduced.
