What it covers
The video shows the clinical application of the connective tissue platform technique, a novel subepithelial connective tissue graft technique for soft tissue augmentation in Class III ridge defects. Surgical intervention consists of in situ maintenance of a connective tissue "platform" at the edentulous space, which facilitates the stabilization and suturing of the 2 palatal connective tissue grafts used for tridimensional soft tissue augmentation.

The first stage of this learning experience focuses on the theoretical aspects
characterizing the rationale behind periodontal surgery.
Participants will receive a comprehensive and up-to-date training on the latest developments in the surgical management of simple and complex cases with standard and replicable protocols.
The module includes 5 theoretical video lectures featuring the presentation of various clinical cases, followed by 2 final ReLIVE Surgeries that are shown and discussed step by step to put the previously presented theoretical concepts into practice.
Specific attention is paid to periodontal anatomy and diagnosis, palatal connective graft harvesting and placement techniques, and the management of coronal displaced flaps.

In this second module, Dr. Zucchelli deals with the techniques
and protocols that every periodontist should fully master to manage the
treatment of single gingival recession with competence and efficiency.
From the protocol for coronal flap repositioning to the techniques for the harvesting, processing and positioning of palatal connective grafts, passing through the analysis of the best practices for clinical crown lengthening and augmentation, to the use of matrices for root coverage.
The module consists of 6 ReLIVE Surgeries in which the participant will be guided step by step in the process of acquisition of practical and theoretical skills that will assist him in the continuation of his daily clinical activity.

The techniques examined in the previous module such as coronal flap displacement and the application of grafts and matrices represent the basis for approaching the clinical cases presented here.
Thanks to the ReLIVE Surgeries, commented punctually by Dr. Zucchelli, participants will observe the protocols for performing distal releases and the innovative 'Connective Wall Technique'.
The final clinical cases will be exemplary: risk factors are discussed, with a special focus on their prevention and intra-operative management.
