Advanced course in periodontal regenerative surgery

Advanced course in periodontal regenerative surgery

Abstract:

Periodontitis is a chronic disease that lead to the development of gingival pockets and bony defects. Bony defects are classified according to their anatomy in horizontal (corresponding to suprabony pockets) and vertical (corresponding to infrabony pockets). The reasons for the formation of gingival pockets, together with the etiology of the infrabony defects will be discussed during the course. At the same time, participants will acquire the knowledge about how to make diagnosis and how to classify the bony defects. The principles of Guided Tissue Regeneration will be explained and their surgical application (and why and how to preserve the interdental papilla) will be showed through the use of slides and videos. Participants will also acquire the knowledge on how to classify and make the correct choice on biomaterials (both bone graft and membranes) to use in GTR. On Friday afternoon a surgery session will focus the topics of the theoretical lessons, and participants will have the possibility to watch a live surgery of infrabony defects on a periodontal patient. Saturday morning, an hands-on session will close the course. On animal models participants will create bone defects, manage the soft tissues, fill the defects with biomaterials and suture the flap under the direct supervision of Dr. Cardaropoli.
