Failure and Success in Periodontal and Peri-Implant Soft Tissue Surgery - Dentistry eBooks

Course Overview

Presented by Prof. Giovanni Zucchelli and Dr. Martina Stefanini, this course tackles a subject most training avoids: what actually goes wrong in periodontal and peri-implant soft tissue surgery, and how to prevent or manage it. Rather than focusing only on ideal-case technique, the curriculum works through real risk factors, relevant anatomy such as nerve structures, and how to recognize and manage implant failure.

Across 10 theoretical lectures and a hands-on demonstration video, the course covers intraoperative complications including perforations, along with the management of malpositioned implants and planning for computer-guided surgery to reduce the risk of these errors in future cases. The emphasis throughout is practical: recognizing complications early and having a clear protocol for managing them rather than being caught off guard.

At 8 hours 27 minutes, this course is designed for surgeons who already perform mucogingival and peri-implant procedures and want a more complete, honest picture of both the successes and the failure modes involved.
