Description

Post-Orthodontic Deep Gingival Recession in Lower Incisors is a focused video course by Giovanni Zucchelli, a well-known periodontist, on deep gingival recession affecting the lower incisors after orthodontic treatment. The lower anterior region is a delicate area for root coverage, and these cases often require close cooperation between the periodontist and the orthodontist. The course concentrates on this single clinical situation and is delivered as a downloadable ZIP archive of recorded video lessons that you can study at your own pace.

Who the course on post-orthodontic deep gingival recession is for

• Periodontists who treat recession defects in the lower anterior region.
• Dentists with experience in mucogingival surgery who want to look closely at a particularly demanding type of case.
• Orthodontists who want to understand the periodontal side of recession that appears after tooth movement, and when to refer.
• Residents in periodontology preparing for root coverage procedures.

This is an advanced, single-topic course. If you want a broader foundation in soft tissue surgery first, Everything About Soft Tissue Surgery (Giovanni Zucchelli) or Zucchelli MasterClass 2024: Periodontal Plastic Surgery are good places to start. Our guide on how to choose online dental courses explains how to choose according to your level.

What the course covers

As the title indicates, the course deals with the treatment of post-orthodontic deep gingival recession in the lower incisors, that is, recession that appears or becomes evident in patients who have had orthodontic treatment. We describe it only at this level, because we prefer not to list surgical techniques or lessons that we cannot confirm from the title. If you would like the full list of lessons before buying, contact us and we will send it to you.

How to get the most from the course

1. Watch each case twice: first to understand the diagnosis and the overall plan, then a second time pausing at each surgical step to take notes.
2. Discuss it with your orthodontic colleagues: post-orthodontic deep gingival recession sits at the boundary between two specialties, so sharing the lessons with the orthodontists you work with can improve communication and referral.
3. Read around both sides of the problem: Periodontal and Peri-implant Plastic Microsurgery covers precise soft tissue techniques, and Contemporary Orthodontics provides the orthodontic background.
4. Combine with supervised practice: a video course helps you understand and prepare, but it does not replace hands-on training under supervision before performing root coverage surgery.

For clinical resources and guidelines on periodontal health and gingival recession, the American Academy of Periodontology is a useful reference alongside the course.
