Description

Soft Tissue Surgery Around Teeth and Implants is an Osteocom video course with Giovanni Zucchelli that addresses the surgical management of soft tissues in two settings: around natural teeth and around dental implants. This dual focus makes it particularly relevant for clinicians whose daily work combines periodontal and implant treatment. The course is delivered as a downloadable ZIP archive of recorded video lessons, so you can study it at your own pace and return to the parts that match your current cases.

Who Soft Tissue Surgery Around Teeth and Implants is for

• Implant dentists who want to better understand the soft tissue side of implant therapy.
• Periodontists who treat both teeth and implant sites and want to compare the two contexts.
• Postgraduate students and residents in periodontology or implantology.
• Restorative dentists who plan esthetic cases and work closely with a surgeon.

Soft Tissue Surgery Around Teeth and Implants assumes some surgical experience. If you are building your foundations first, the Implant Ninja Soft Tissue Grafting Course or the Implant Ninja: Implant Surgery 101 course may be a better entry point. Our guide on how to choose online dental courses explains how to pick the right level.

What the course covers

As the title states, Soft Tissue Surgery Around Teeth and Implants deals with surgery in two clinical contexts. Around teeth, this concerns the periodontal soft tissues; around implants, it concerns the peri-implant mucosa, where the biological and esthetic conditions are different. Studying both in the same course helps you compare indications and approaches between the two situations rather than treating them as separate subjects.

How to get the most from Soft Tissue Surgery Around Teeth and Implants

1. Compare teeth and implants side by side: keep two columns in your notes, one for natural teeth and one for implants, and record how each step differs.
2. Use the lessons for case preparation: before an esthetic implant case or a recession treatment, rewatch the matching lesson and write down your plan.
3. Complete the reading: Periodontal and Peri-implant Plastic Microsurgery covers both settings, and The Single-Tooth Implant adds the perspective of the extraction socket and single implant.
4. Combine with supervised practice: a video course does not replace hands-on training under supervision.

For clinical resources and consensus guidelines in implant dentistry, the International Team for Implantology (ITI) is a useful reference alongside the course.
