A Hands-On Workshop Featuring Tunnel Soft Tissue Graft and Procurement of Connective Tissue Graft

This hands-on course is designed to help dentist incorporate both crown lengthening (aesthetic and functional) and soft tissue grafts (eg. free soft tissue graft, subepithelial connective tissue graft, acellular dermal matrix, guided tissue regeneration based root coverage...etc) into their daily practices. Techniques such as recently introduced tunnelling approach will be thoroughly discussed and demonstrated. In addition, the participants will be exposed to how to use soft tissue grafts to enhance implant aesthetics.

• Know the goals of aesthetic and functional (restorative-oriented) crown lengthening.
• Famaliarised how to perform surgical crown lengthening.
• Know why, when, where and how to perform different soft tissue grafts (eg. free soft tissue graft, subepithelial connective tissue graft, acellular dermal matrix, guided tissue regeneration based root coverage...etc)
• Learn how to use decision tree to make proper selection of different soft tissue grafting techniques.
• Learn when to use envelope, cornally advanced flap or tunnel approach for sub epithelial CT graft or accellular dermal matrix graft.
• Know the variety surgical instruments and how to properly use them.
• Know how to perform tunnelling soft tissue graft and understand the differences between tunnel, semilunar, VISTA and apical tunnel techniques.
• Learn to control factors that influence soft tissue grafts outcome.
• Understand the differences among all available acellular dermal matrix grafts.
