Dr Ricardo Kern

5 Day Course

 Hands-On in London

What you'll learn:

Day 1

Course Introduction:

• The pink and white aesthetic balance philosophy
• Basic concepts for digital planning on KeyNote

Hands-On:

• Digital Planning: "thinking pink" based on the workflow of full maxila CLP and full maxila gingival recession coverage
• Immediate Implants Immediate Temporization:
• Physiology of periodontal/peri-implant tissues - Long term issues.
• When to opt for two surgical times in aesthetic areas and two times temporary design
• Implant selection and 3D positioning
• Provisionalisation, concepts and design
• Soft tissue grafting technique for fresh sockets
• Working variables to recover papilla

Day 2

Dentoalveolar Reconstruction on edentulous site and on aesthetically compromised dental implant areas:

• Hard tissue approach/grafting
• Flap Design
• Tunneling
• Connective Palatal Flap
• Harvesting muco gingival grafts
• Grafting colour compromised implant area
• Temporisation design for graft resolution on gingival recession dental implant areas

​Hands-On

• Management of mucogingival tissues and sutures
• Temporisation design for graft resolution on givgival recession
• Dental Implant areas

Day 3

Workflow for partial and full arch immediate cases:

• Cases presentation discussion
• Surgical Execution
• Handling of the anatomical temporary for tissue conditioning
• Impression Execution
• Excel Laboratory communication
• Gingival impression Index
• Gingival Conditioning Cast

Gingival Impression Index:

• How to perfect lab transfer the anatomy of conditioned tissue to cast

Gingival Conditioning Cast:

• How to predictable change the soft tissue contour, shape ovate pontic and emergence profile on partial and full arch

Day 4

• Anatomy, histology and physiology of the periodontal complex of donor and recipient areas. 
• Periodontal phenotype and defect classification

Hands-on 1:

• ​Refinement skills and precision of the incisions for flap preparation and donor areas

Hands-on 2: 

• Coronally Advanced Flap Incision Design

Success criteria for root coverage. The factors checklist you need to accomplish for predictable results.

Donor Area Approach: Pros and Cons of each donor site and post surgical treatment of harvest areas

Day 5

Hands-on 3:

• Donor areas (Sub-epithelial, Free Gingival graft and Tuberosity) applying a thickness control technique - Window Technique.
• Flowchart for choosing the surgical technique. Defect analysis and clinical objectives - volume, keratinization, covering.

Hands-on 4:

• Incision design for multiple retraction treatment.
• Recepient Area Approach: Anatomical Considerations, Recipient bed preparation, and graft stabilization (suturing)

Hands-on 5: 

• Total/partial thickness in keratinized mucosa and how to layering the periosteum, muscles, and mucosa

Hands-on 6: 

• Tunneling approach - Graft and suture stabilization.
• Coronally advanced flap approach - Graft and suture stabilization
