Join us for our first ever Soft Tissue Symposium, May 2-3, 2025 in sunny Phoenix, AZ.

Topics will include:

• Treating recession defects utilizing autogenous grafts
• Exploring the short-term and long-term clinical results of sites grafted with soft tissue allografts
• Preventing and managing peri-implant soft tissue complications
• Reconstructing the vestibule following ridge augmentation procedures
• Periodontal and peri-implant surgery with the VISTA technique
• Treating complications that may arise when using various materials and protocols

Homa Zadeh, DDS, PhD - Practical Experience in Phenotype Modification Therapy (PMT) for the Management of Gingival Recession/Peri-implant Mucosal Defects

8am-12pm - $695 - 4 CE Credits

The significance of phenotype modification therapy (PMT) for the management of gingival recession and peri-implant mucosal defects has been recognized. PMT involves soft tissue and/or bone augmentation. VISTA is an effective surgical approach that can be used for both soft tissue and bone augmentation around teeth and implants. This hands-on workshop is designed to provide practical experience with PMT using VISTA for the management of gingival recession/peri-implant mucosal defects.  Simulated exercises will be conducted to provide practical experience with:

• The rationale and protocol for VISTA for periodontal and peri-implant phenotype modification therapy.
• Selection of appropriate material: Connective Tissue (palate and tuberosity), Acellular Dermis Allograft, Platelet-Fibrin Concentrates, Growth factors. 

Shaun Rotenberg, DMD, MS - Esthetically Driven Soft Tissue Management During the Transition from Natural Tooth to Dental Implant

8am-12pm - $695 - 4 CE Credits

The purpose of this course is to educate clinicians on how to predictably manage and enhance the soft tissue from extraction all the way to final restoration in even the most severe defects.  At the end of this hands on workshop, participants should be able to:

• Identify the periodontal anatomy that is being preserved during extraction and socket reconstruction to achieve an ideal esthetic result
• Perform multiple techniques and utilize novel materials, both allograft and xenograft, to preserve and enhance the natural anatomy at the time of extraction
• Understand the rationale for technique selection based on the situation presented
• Discuss proper treatment timelines based on technique selection
• Use described techniques and materials to improve the health and esthetics of dental implants at the time of placement

Sascha Jovanovic, DDS, MS - Mucogingival Therapies After GBR Using a Gingival Strip Graft, Subepithelial CT Graft, Vestibuloplasty, and Tunneling Procedures

1pm-5pm - $695 - 4 CE Credits

In this workshop, the clinician will learn soft tissue management in implant and GBR Procedures. The focus will be to harvest palatal strip gingival grafts and subepithelial connective tissue grafts and use them for deepening of the vestibulum, increase soft tissue keratinization, and thicken the soft tissue biotype.

• Identify advantages and disadvantages of various surgical approaches
• Understand flap design, flap management and suturing methods
• Understand augmentation techniques for keratinized tissue 
• Understand augmentation techniques for soft tissue thickening
• Understand and address complications created by prior soft tissue grafting attempts
• Learn Indications for collagen & dermal soft tissue biomaterials and biologics
• Understand perio-implant papilla support
