Mucogingival surgery: root coverage protocols 2.0
Mucogingival surgery: root coverage protocols 2.0
Course overview
New protocols for surgical treatment of recession are presented in the course "Mucogingival surgery: root coverage protocols 2.0"!
During the training you will learn step-by-step the following protocols:
Diagnosis and treatment planning of recession
Treatment of single and multiple recession in the maxilla and mandible
Work with connective tissue graft
Flap techniques:
envelope flap technique
single incision technique
L-incision technique.
Tunnel techniques:
author's VISTA technique.
