Mastering State of the Art Esthetic Techniques in Oral Plastic Surgery: Esthetic Connective Tissue Grafts and Papillae Regeneration (0-501)

Instructor: W. Peter Nordland, D.M.D., M.S., F.A.A.E.D.

This two-day course provides advanced microsurgical training for the specialist or generalist who is experienced in periodontal surgery. Dr. Nordland will skillfully teach you how to obtain repeated, beautiful and predictable periodontal plastic surgery. In this workshop, he will demonstrate the use of the Connective Tissue Graft to achieve esthetic periodontal regeneration. He will guide you through the technical details of this microsurgical hands-on training with the use of fresh specimen pig jaws to give a realistic, but stress-free surgical experience. Live patient treatment is viewed via the operating microscope educational video system. Surgical instrument selection and modification of instruments to enhance results will be shared. Principles for success with microsuture technique will also be emphasized. Additionally, predictable techniques for graft placement to enhance papillae formation will be shown.

The papillae regeneration portion will focus on microsurgical regeneration of the lost interdental papillae. This advanced periodontal microsurgical module will include a live patient demonstration. Course registrants are encouraged to photo-document problem cases for discussion. All avenues of multi-disciplinary approaches will be addressed; however, surgical correction will be the emphasis and goal of this course. Full armamentarium and course manual will be provided.

Dr. Peter Nordland, senior faculty member of the Newport Coast Oral Facial Institute, presents an exciting two-day workshop on Microscopic Periodontal Surgical Techniques.

This seminar will be a combination of lecture, hands-on workshop, live patient demonstration, and participant microscopic exercises on pig jaws. Each participant will personally experience the advantage that vision enhancement through magnification with a surgical microscope can bring to periodontal procedures.** Dr. Nordland’s personal documentation of increased healing times, decreased patient discomfort, and sophisticated results will be shown.

In this two-day, fast-paced participation course, you will learn:

  • How to predictably perform gingival root coverage without any visible incisions to provide ideal esthetics
  • How to regenerate the lost inter-dental papilla
  • How to improve your periodontal surgical results through the power of magnification
  • How to master the ergonomics of working under magnification
  • How to improve treatment selection for ultimate successful results
  • How to make precise, minimally invasive microsurgical incision
  • The criteria for donor site selection
  • The importance of proper surgical instrument selection and modification
  • The principles for success with micro-suture techniques
  • The newest techniques for graft placement to enhance papilla formation
  • How to enhance predictability through improved vision

This workshop combines lecture and hands-on formats along with the small class size to provide individual, needs-specific mentoring from instructors to participants.

Students are encouraged to bring a challenging or interesting case for review with the instructors and possible sharing with the entire class.

The tuition for this two-day course is $4,090. For additional information or to register you may CALL 1-800-686-1155; FAX 949-760-5048; or send an Email to info@ncofi.org.
