The mucogingival approach to periodontal regeneration
This 9-hour video course offers an in-depth overview of the latest techniques and approaches for treating gingival recessions and intrabony defects — from biological rationale to clinical indications and step-by-step surgical protocols.
At the heart of the program lies the evolution of the Coronally Advanced Flap (CAF) and the Vertical Coronally Advanced Flap (V-CAF) for treating single and multiple gingival recessions in both the mandible and maxilla. A special emphasis is placed on soft tissue manipulation, connective tissue harvesting, and their critical role in achieving long-term stability and root coverage.
Prof. Zucchelli also explores the diagnosis of vertical bony defects and the Connective Tissue Wall Technique: the cutting-edge protocol that allows for simultaneous periodontal regeneration and mucogingival enhancement in one surgical procedure.
Topics covered in the course:
- Treatment protocols for single and multiple gingival recessions
- Combined mucogingival and restorative treatment approach
- Step-by-step gingival and connective tissue harvesting techniques
- The role and management of keratinized tissue
- The mucogingival approach to periodontal regeneration
- Cutting-edge techniques: CAF, V-CAF, Connective Tissue Wall
- Diagnosis of deep intrabony defects
At the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
- Correctly diagnose and classify gingival recession defects and associated anatomical challenges
- Perform the appropriate surgical flap design based on clinical indications
- Harvest and manage gingival and connective tissue grafts with precision and predictability, including extra-oral de-epithelialization
- Combine mucogingival surgery with periodontal regeneration in one surgery
- Improve primary wound closure and soft tissue stability for long-term success
- Manage surgical complications and ensure esthetic and functional outcomes
- Confidently apply the Connective Tissue Wall Technique in challenging cases
