Join us for a one-day lecture and hands-on workshop with Dr. Shaun Rotenberg, DMD, MS.
The course will take place on September 27, 2024 in Dallas, TX at the Las Colinas Country Club.
You will earn 7 CE hours for this event; breakfast and lunch will be provided.
Course Description:
For over 25 years, Acellular Dermal Matrices (ADM) have been used as an alternative to autogenous tissue in Periodontal Plastic Surgery. While widely used in both medicine and dentistry, there has been little enhancement to the material to improve healing and reduce complications. Course attendees will learn about improved initial and long term outcomes and handling of a novel micro-surfaced ADM; Cytoplast MicroDerm™. Attendees will have
the opportunity to practice surgical protocols on porcine models during this interactive hands-on workshop.
Learning Objectives for Advanced Techniques in Contemporary
Periodontal Plastic Surgery
• Recognize the esthetic and functional goals of soft tissue augmentation
• Discuss the various techniques available to achieve root coverage
• Identify benefits and limitations of traditional and contemporary surgical techniques
• Understand the unique characteristics of Cytoplast Microderm™ and the advantages over traditional smooth-surfaced allografts
• Explain the handling, preparation, and use of the novel material
• Describe advanced recipient site preparation techniques to maximize outcomes via a modified vestibular access tunnel
• Describe techniques utilizing Cytoplast Microderm™ to augment soft tissue at the time of implant placement
• Identify the periodontal anatomy that is being preserved during extraction and socket reconstruction to achieve an ideal esthetic result
• Describe techniques and materials available that can be utilized to preserve the natural anatomy
• Understand the rationale for technique selection based on the situation presented
• Be able to discuss proper treatment timelines based on technique selection
Hands-On Workshop Overview
• Hands-on with pig jaws
• Handle, prepare, and use Cytoplast MicroDerm™ - understand the handling
characteristics and hydration time
• Practice advanced minimally invasive recipient site techniques utilizing a vestibular access
