Building Soft Tissue Harmony: Partial-Full-Thickness Tunneling and Supra-Crestal Sling Suture Workshop
This hands-on workshop embraces the spirit of continuous clinical education by introducing participants to the Partial-Full-Thickness (PFT) tunneling technique combined with the Supra-Crestal Sling (SCS) suture—a novel surgical protocol designed to advance root coverage and papilla reconstruction.
Through a structured and practical training program, clinicians will not only refine their skills in flap design, tunneling preparation, graft stabilization, and advanced suturing, but also gain deeper insight into the biological principles driving soft tissue regeneration. The workshop highlights how minimally invasive microsurgery can achieve scar-free, harmonious outcomes in the esthetic zone, transforming the most challenging areas in mucogingival surgery into a predictable clinical opportunity.
Microsurgical training - 1 h
Partial-Full-Thickness tunneling and supra-crestal sling suture surgical training - 2 h
The hands-on training sessions will be conducted using Hu-Friedy instruments, custom models designed by the instructors, and an operating microscope.
