FROM THE PIKOS INSTITUTE:

Master soft tissue grafting in this comprehensive hands-on course featuring live surgical demonstrations and in-depth exploration of peri-implant soft tissue biology and pathology. Beginning with fundamental principles of attached tissue at the soft tissue-implant interface, participants will gain extensive knowledge of instrumentation selection, advanced suturing techniques, and the scientific rationale behind various grafting procedures. The course delivers thorough instruction in performing Epithelial Palatal Grafts, Gingival and Subepithelial Connective Tissue Grafts, Pedicle Tunnel Connective Tissue Grafts™, and the strategic application of Acellular Dermis Matrix.

Through didactic sessions and hands-on workshops, attendees will develop expertise in extraction site management, pre-bone graft soft tissue procedures, and comprehensive treatment approaches for both esthetic and non-esthetic zones. Live surgical demonstrations showcase advanced techniques for Vestibuloplasty and complex Esthetic Zone Reconstruction, with special emphasis on preventing and managing complications. The curriculum includes coverage of peri-implantitis treatment protocols and Growth Factor Technology integration.

Grounded in decades of documented clinical cases and cutting-edge advancements, this intensive program provides participants with practical experience through workshops and live demonstrations. Clinical case presentations illustrate the nuances of technique selection across diverse patient scenarios. Upon completion, attendees will be empowered to immediately apply these sophisticated techniques, excel in implant soft tissue surgery, and predictably improve patient outcomes.
