VISTA: Protocols for Working With Tissues Around Teeth and Implants From the Creator

VISTA: Protocols for Working With Tissues Around Teeth and Implants From the Creator is organized by OHI-S.

Description:
All the possibilities of using VISTA technique for soft tissue and bone augmentation, from its creator Homa Zadeh!

In the course, you will learn the techniques of:

• Periodontal plastic surgery
• Autogenous grafts
• Soft tissue and bone augmentation
• Modular bone plastic
• Socket augmentation.

You will analyze all the possibilities of using the VISTA technique in the treatment of periodontal and peri-implant tissue diseases. Additionally, you will learn about all the nuances of using PRF, membranes, and bone-substituting materials during plastic periodontal surgery and implantation.

After the course, you will receive a full set of necessary and relevant techniques for the treatment of periodontal diseases and alveolar ridge defects in any clinical situations.
