Course lessons

Lesson 1: Principles of the free gingival graft fixation to the bone

• The technique background
• Technique associated biological factors of hard and soft tissue regeneration
• Two extraordinary cases demonstrating technique application and long-term results
• Step by step demonstration of the technique on a phantom.

Lesson 2: Current approach of a free gingival graft fixation to the bone

• Step-by-step analysis of a clinical case:
• large recipient bed
• segmentation of a donor sight
• the vestibulum critical depth
• thickening of a fibrous tissue around an implant lingually.

Lesson 3: Advantages of the free gingival graft fixation to the bone

• Сreating a soft tissue seal around an implant:
• using a free gingival graft, which is immobilized to the bone
• using a customized healing abutment
• using an acellular dermal matrix.
• Complex geometry of the vestibulum:
• complications in flap mobilization
• strategy for the operation.

Lesson 4: Strip-plasty with immobilization to the bone

• Clinical case:
• very shallow and long vestibulum
• strip-plasty with immobilization to the bone.
• Full edentulism rehabilitation on 4 implants, 4 strips, a collagen matrix: long-term results.

Lesson 5: Combination of materials and fixation on the bone

• Protocol for creating keratinized tissue during three weeks in the third quadrant
• Creating a stable connective tissue attachment
• Bone augmentation in the area of a free gingival graft fixation
• Full immobilization of a graft with a stable long-term result
• Creating a soft tissue seal around implants: combination of a free gingival graft and an acellular dermal matrix fixed to the bone.

Lesson 6: Covered graft fixed to the bone

• A covered graft is used around a tooth: special features of the surgical protocol, success and complications
• Complications in case of non-compliance with the original protocol.

Lesson 7: Anatomical and histological prerequisites for the use of free gingival graft fixation to the bone

• The role of keratinized tissue for successful implantation
• Anatomical and physiological features of bone tissue and periosteum
• Histological features of bone and periosteum that determine the results of implantation
• Causes of bone resorption
• Application of free gingival graft fixation to the bone on a clinical example.

Lesson 8: Osteogenic potential and protocol for free gingival graft fixation to the bone

• Principles of free gingival graft fixation to the bone
• Protocol for the use of free gingival graft fixation to the bone
• Histological assessment of the results of using free gingival graft fixation to the bone
• Stages of the operation of free gingival graft fixation to the bone
• Indications and contraindications for surgery
• Scheme of the stages of the operation
• Strip-technique: advantages and technique
• Pin extraction technique.
