The Soft Tissue Course is focused for dentists who wish to offer, or are currently offering, soft tissue procedures around teeth and dental implants. It will cover the fundamental theory and case selection/planning as well as a significant hands-on programme allowing delegates to develop skills in basic soft tissue procedures as well as more advanced and technically challenging techniques using the latest instruments.  

There will be four hands on sessions throughout the two-day course including multiple pigs heads sessions to ensure reproducibility to clinical application. The course is taught by three specialists (Dr Devan S Raindi, Dr Reena Wadia and Dr Jay Parmar) who have a wealth of experience managing soft tissue challenges around teeth and dental implants. This also allows for an optimal ratio of delegates to instructors.  

No prior reading material is required and a workbook will be provided as part of the course for note-taking and case planning.

Participants will gain detailed knowledge on the clinically relevant anatomy required to carry out mucogingival procedures around teeth and implants. They will understand the indications and contraindications for a variety of different techniques including pedicle flaps and tunnelling approaches. Harvesting of free gingival grafts and connective tissue grafts will be covered in detail.
