What you'll learn

Day 1

Course Introduction:

  • The pink and white aesthetic balance philosophy
  • Basic concepts for digital planning on KeyNote

Hands-On:

  • Digital Planning: "thinking pink" based on the workflow of full maxila CLP and full maxila gingival recession coverage
  • Immediate Implants Immediate Temporization:
  • Physiology of periodontal/peri-implant tissues - Long term issues.
  • When to opt for two surgical times in aesthetic areas and two times temporary design
  • Implant selection and 3D positioning
  • Provisionalisation, concepts and design
  • Soft tissue grafting technique for fresh sockets
  • Working variables to recover papilla

Day 2

Dentoalveolar Reconstruction on edentulous site and on aesthetically compromised dental implant areas:

  • Hard tissue approach/grafting
  • Flap Design
  • Tunneling
  • Connective Palatal Flap
  • Harvesting muco gingival grafts
  • Grafting colour compromised implant area
  • Temporisation design for graft resolution on gingival recession dental implant areas

Hands-On

  • Management of mucogingival tissues and sutures
  • Temporisation design for graft resolution on givgival recession
  • Dental Implant areas

Day 3

Workflow for partial and full arch immediate cases:

  • Cases presentation discussion
  • Surgical Execution
  • Handling of the anatomical temporary for tissue conditioning
  • Impression Execution
  • Excel Laboratory communication
  • Gingival impression Index
  • Gingival Conditioning Cast

Gingival Impression Index:

  • How to perfect lab transfer the anatomy of conditioned tissue to cast

Gingival Conditioning Cast:

  • How to predictable change the soft tissue contour, shape ovate pontic and emergence profile on partial and full arch

Day 4

  • Anatomy, histology and physiology of the periodontal complex of donor and recipient areas. 
  • Periodontal phenotype and defect classification

Hands-on 1:

  • Refinement skills and precision of the incisions for flap preparation and donor areas

Hands-on 2: 

  • Coronally Advanced Flap Incision Design

Success criteria for root coverage. The factors checklist you need to accomplish for predictable results.

Donor Area Approach: Pros and Cons of each donor site and post surgical treatment of harvest areas

Day 5

Hands-on 3:

  • Donor areas (Sub-epithelial, Free Gingival graft and Tuberosity) applying a thickness control technique - Window Technique.
  • Flowchart for choosing the surgical technique. Defect analysis and clinical objectives - volume, keratinization, covering.

Hands-on 4:

  • Incision design for multiple retraction treatment.
  • Recepient Area Approach: Anatomical Considerations, Recipient bed preparation, and graft stabilization (suturing)

Hands-on 5: 

  • Total/partial thickness in keratinized mucosa and how to layering the periosteum, muscles, and mucosa

Hands-on 6: 

  • Tunneling approach - Graft and suture stabilization.
  • Coronally advanced flap approach - Graft and suture stabilization

What our attendees are saying:

So the last three days have been inspirational, incredible, lots of tips, and a great course to be on.

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

- Oh he's so easygoing and so knowledgeable and so good at imparting his knowledge, excellent.

- [Interviewer] How did you find the small design on the first day?

- So not being totally computer literate, it was difficult, so I spent the night working on it and really enjoyed it. I can't wait to start using it.

- [Interviewer] The exercises that Ricardo went through on the pig's jaws, what can you tell me about those? Suturing the incisions?

- Personally, I wish I had more time, but other than that, brilliant. I think the soft tissue grafting was really good and I would like to practice more and I'd love to practice more suturing.

- [Interviewer] Yeah, always.

- Everybody says the same thing, yeah, yeah.

- [Interviewer] We always want more time.

- Absolutely. I think the detail that he was showing and the accuracy with which he was working was really inspirational and something I'd like to take on board.

- [Interviewer] Some of the things that you've learned, do you think you'll be able to implement them fairly quickly?

- Absolutely, yes. Absolutely, tomorrow.

- [Interviewer] And what about the value for money for the course?

- Worth every penny. Definitely, worth every penny.

- [Interviewer] Good.

- One of the best courses I've been on.

Dr Manoy Popat

It is so motivating seeing more experienced dentists' work.

Dr Je Ho Chun

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

Dr John Chu

Comprehensive course which considers daily issues we meet in our practice. Highly recommend!!

Dr Mihhail Botsinski

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

It's great to be able to learn from and contribute to a bunch of dentist who don't cut corners.

Dr Ricardo Kern  //  Periodontist


Dr. Kern graduated from the Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), one of the most prestigious universities in Brazil.

He obtained a Postgraduate degree in Periodontology in 2003 and a Master’s Degree in Oral Rehabilitation from the Univesidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa in 2007. Firmly entrenched within the high aesthetic requirements of Brazilian dentistry, Dr. Ricardo Kern focuses his work on the demanding disciplines of soft tissue design and reconstruction.

He has vast experience in immediate implant placement with temporization, from single tooth cases to full arch rehabilitations. He has presented both didactic programs and hands-on workshops on soft tissue design, preservation and reconstruction at numerous seminars and congresses.
