Advanced Periodontology – Evidence-Based Concepts, Minimally Invasive Surgery & Hands-On Training
Successful long-term outcomes for both teeth and implants require a sound understanding of periodontal biology, precise diagnostics and evidence-based treatment strategies.
This intensive two-day course, led by Prof. Dr. Dr. Wolf-D. Grimm and Univ.-Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Adrian Kasaj, MSc., combines current scientific knowledge with clinical decision-making and practical surgical training.
Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the biological and pathophysiological principles of periodontal disease and learn how to translate contemporary evidence-based concepts into daily clinical practice. Particular emphasis will be placed on minimally invasive periodontal therapy, regenerative approaches and plastic-reconstructive periodontal surgery.
Clinical case presentations and comprehensive documentation will illustrate different treatment strategies and support structured decision-making. A Live-OP will provide valuable insight into surgical procedures, techniques and clinical workflows.
A major focus of the course is practical training. During the hands-on sessions, participants will practice manual and ultrasonic instrumentation as well as minimally invasive periodontal surgical techniques on porcine jaw models. Microsurgical suturing techniques and treatment planning for plastic-reconstructive periodontal surgery will also be addressed.
Further topics include the implementation of current clinical guidelines for the treatment of Stage I–III periodontitis, augmentation of keratinized mucosa using free soft-tissue grafts (FSTG), and peri-implant soft-tissue thickening using subepithelial connective tissue grafts (CTG).
Combining scientific evidence, clinical expertise, Live-OP and intensive hands-on training, this course provides participants with practical concepts and techniques that can be directly integrated into everyday periodontal and implant practice.
