Soft Tissue Management is essential for the long-term success of both dental implants and natural teeth, ensuring stability, aesthetics, and function. Proper management supports implant and periodontal health while preventing complications such as peri-implantitis, mobility, recession, and inflammation.
Led by expert Prof. Puria Parvini, our 2-day course provides in-depth knowledge and hands-on training in Soft Tissue Management and Grafting Techniques for implant dentistry and natural teeth. The course covers various augmentation procedures to correct soft tissue inadequacies, equipping clinicians with the skills to maintain or enhance soft tissue stability.
