Free Gingival Grafts (Autogenous and Allograft) are used to augment existing lack of keratinized gingival or enhance a pre-implant or pre-prosthetic site.

Connective Tissue (Autogenous and Allograft) are used for root coverage or to enhance a thin biotype for prosthetic or esthetic improvements of soft tissue. This course includes lecture, video, and hands-on (pig jaws) opportunities to understand these concepts and apply them to clinical practice.

Course Objectives:

1. Diagnose mucogingival defects.
2. Recognize pre-implant and pre-prosthetic clinical sites requiring plastic surgery
3. Know how to harvest soft tissue autografts for mucogingival graft surgery.

    Pros – Dr. Suzuki is a knowledgeable teacher. You get hands on practice. I would recommend that since you have space on the pigs head you do 2 practice flaps for each scenario rather than one since you have the time and it is an easy way to double your experience. By the end of it you could probably attempt some gingival surgery.

    Cons – The notes are horrendous. There is no step by step summary for each procedures but there are a number of small details that would be fairly critical to keep in mind. Almost none of the useful diagrams are included in the notes because apparently they’re part of a copyrighted textbook but there are some meaningless case study details that are printed for your viewing pleasure. I hope you can write quickly. They did print off some diagrams due to some terse feedback at the end so hopefully those will be Incorporated into future notes.
    -You will receive four papers on mronj as well as the first 1.5 hours on medical history. I think they have to do some of this but it feels like filler.
    -You will get the usual financial advice and product placement spiels at the break which we’ve all come to cherish and love.

    Overall it’s fine. There’s not a lot of perio courses out there. Go, but temper your expectations.
