Description

Periodontal Regenerative Surgical Approach is an Osteocom video course with Giovanni Zucchelli dedicated to the surgical treatment of periodontal defects with a regenerative aim. Periodontal regeneration seeks to restore the supporting tissues of the tooth lost to periodontitis, rather than simply removing the defect. This is an advanced topic intended for clinicians with a background in periodontal surgery. The course is delivered as a downloadable ZIP archive of recorded video lessons, so you can study at your own pace and return to each procedure when you need it.

Who the Periodontal Regenerative Surgical Approach course is for

• Periodontists who want to compare their regenerative protocols with the approach presented in the course.
• Postgraduate students and residents in periodontology preparing to treat periodontal defects surgically.
• General dentists with periodontal surgery experience who want to understand when regeneration is an option.
• Implant dentists who want to understand the alternatives to extraction in periodontally compromised teeth.

Because it is an advanced subject, a broader course such as the Complete Periodontics Course (68 Videos) may be a better first step if you are new to periodontal surgery. If you are also interested in the resective side, see Osseous Resective Surgery. Our guide on how to choose online dental courses explains how to choose by level.

What the course covers

As its title indicates, the Periodontal Regenerative Surgical Approach focuses on the surgical management of periodontal defects with the goal of regenerating lost periodontal support around natural teeth. It is a focused course, not a general introduction to periodontics, and it assumes you already know how to diagnose periodontal disease and perform basic flap surgery.

How to get the most from the Periodontal Regenerative Surgical Approach

1. Focus on case selection: as you watch, note which clinical and radiographic features are discussed when deciding whether a defect is suitable for regeneration.
2. Study the surgical steps in sequence: pause at each step of flap design, defect debridement and closure, and write a short checklist you can review before surgery.
3. Complete the reading: Periodontal and Peri-implant Plastic Microsurgery covers minimally invasive flap techniques, while 30 Years of Guided Bone Regeneration explores the related field of bone regeneration.
4. Combine with supervised practice: a video course does not replace hands-on training under supervision.

For clinical resources and guidelines on periodontal disease and its treatment, the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) is a useful reference alongside the course.
