Guided Surgery, Sinus-lifting, Soft Tissue Management

Course Overview

Presented by Dr. Patrick Palacci, an author of numerous scientific publications and textbooks on esthetic and implant dentistry and soft tissue management, this course focuses on the surgical protocols needed for complex implant cases in the esthetic zone. Rather than covering implant surgery broadly, it centers on the specific techniques that determine whether an implant restoration looks and functions like a natural tooth.

The curriculum covers positioning implants accurately using surgical templates and performing osteoplasty in aesthetically sensitive areas, along with the Palacci technique itself — a specialized approach to gingival papillae regeneration developed by the instructor. It also addresses strategies for correcting both vertical and horizontal soft tissue loss, giving practitioners tools for the tissue deficiencies that most commonly compromise esthetic outcomes around implants.

Across 4 lessons and roughly 6 hours 15 minutes of content, the course is designed to bring evidence-based, expert-level surgical technique to complex implant and soft tissue rehabilitation cases.
