What our attendees are saying:

From Ricardo's course, I gained a detailed understanding of what is possible and how to augment soft tissues. World class speaker, luxury venues and the best delegates.

Dr Daniel Cattell

I can strongly recommend Ricardo's training. Clear, simple and effective.

Dr Jaroslaw matuszak

I'm a general dentist. I do all kind of stuffs. I'm not doing complex orthodontics, but I'm also doing quite a lot of implants.

- [Interviewer] How have you found the last three days with Ricardo?

- It was a excellent course. The right mixture between theory and hands-on and the level is very high beside of what you learn it's also inspiring.

- [Interviewer] Absolutely. What can you tell me about Ricardo as a teacher or presenter?

- He's very didactic and he feels to build up a lecture step by step to start rather easy and then go up to the most complex cases.

- [Interviewer] And what about the pigs jaws, the hands-on, how did you find the exercises?

- It was, it was very good. It was enough for me. It's also not easy to maintain the concentration full day, With the small details, for me it was enough and I liked it very much. He paid really attention to small details and many details this was something I did wrong and he explained very well why to do it this way and if you don't do it what will be the problem and the outcome. I think it's you get a lot for your money and it's absolutely worth. I think for a course of this quality this lecture, including hands-on it's not expensive at all.

Dr Nicolas Widmer

- It's been very good, lots of information, lots of things. I've seen Ricardo on RIPE on the Facebook page, Yeah um, new tech that's very useful. I don't know that I can uncover the practices yet, but yeah, definitely will be trying to do that.

- [Interviewer] And how did you find the techniques that he was teaching on the pig's jaws?

- Oh very good, very good, very useful yeah.

- [Interviewer] What can you tell me about what you learned that is, incisions, the sutures.

- Ah.. the incisions, how he makes the partial thickness flap. How you gauge where to um, make the cut so that you get your cut above the muscle, or how you cut below the muscle. How you make sure you've gone on the right plane.

- [Interviewer] How have you found Ricardo as a teacher and a presenter?

- Oh very approachable, very good, very knowledgeable. He presents it quite well. The practical bits is what you want and that's what he provides.

- [Interviewer] And how have you found the course? Is it worthwhile?

- Yeah, it was definitely worthwhile. I don't think there's a course like this, which I know of. Um, yeah it's definitely worth value for money.

Dr Vinod Paul

Ricardo's course is one of the best soft tissue courses EVER!

Dr John Chu

Doing this course gave me courage and confidence to make procedures that I do more precise and also take on new responsibilities. It's a new way of thinking in flap design- the importance of blood supply and knowledge of anatomy.
