Programm

 

Full immersion into reconstructive and plastic surgery of soft tissues around teeth and implants awaits you in a practical course with the legendary Giovanni Zucchelli!

 

Theoretical sessions, hands-on practice, live surgeries, and video demonstrations — all of this will be included in the course.

 

During the two intensive days of theoretical sessions, you will learn: 


– Treatment protocols of single and multiple recessions in the upper and lower jaw
– The author's techniques of mucogingival surgery 
– Treatment of recession around implants
– Soft tissue augmentation prior to implant placement.

 

On the second day of the course, Professor Giovanni Zucchelli will demonstrate live surgery on patients.

 

The third day will be entirely devoted to practicing hands-on exercises (on a pig jaw). The practical part will be lead by Prof. Martina Stefanini.

 

The number of seats is limited – a maximum of 34 people.

 

If you use dental surgical loupes, please bring it with you to the practical course.
