OHI-S Complications in Periodontology and Peri-implant Surgery Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management – All in One Place 5 lessons 4h 33min

Fausto Frizzera, Keitetsu Kure, and Shuto Kikuchi review complications affecting periodontal and peri-implant surgery, from soft-tissue defects to peri-implantitis and failed bone regeneration. The course connects diagnosis and contributing factors with treatment planning, reconstructive options, and maintenance. Clinical topics include peri-implant recession, implant-surface decontamination, root coverage, papilla reconstruction, membrane exposure, and graft loss. The English-language program is listed as four lessons plus one free clinical video, totaling 4 hours 33 minutes. It is intended for clinicians with periodontal and implant-surgery experience who want to examine complication management through case-based material. The original Topics list is retained in its supplied order.

• Prevention of esthetic failures around implants

Lesson 2. Management of Soft Tissue Complications Around Dental Implants: Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment

• Diagnosis and classification of peri-implant soft tissue alterations

• Prevention of soft tissue complications in esthetic implant sites

• Clinical decision-making: treatment indications, timing, and prognosis

• Peri-implant plastic surgery techniques for soft tissue reconstruction

• Implant removal, site preservation, and soft tissue reconstruction following implant failure

Lesson 3. Surgical Management of Peri-Implantitis: Contemporary Approaches to Implant Complications

• Clinical and radiographic diagnosis of peri-implantitis

• Implant surface decontamination techniques

• Classification and management of peri-implant bone defects

• Regenerative surgical approaches for peri-implantitis

• Resective surgical procedures and clinical indications

• Long-term maintenance protocols and supportive peri-implant therapy

Lesson 4. Root Coverage and Papilla Reconstruction: Advanced Surgical Techniques and Clinical Protocols

• Classification of gingival recessions: Miller and Cairo system

• Clinical diagnosis and treatment planning for root coverage procedures

• Incision design, flap elevation, and microsurgical suturing principles

• Management of suprabony and intrabony periodontal defects

• Partial-thickness and split-full-split (mixed-thickness) flap techniques

• Supracrestal (supra-alveolar) periodontal tissue reconstruction protocols

• Interproximal tunneling with customized connective tissue grafts

• Connective tissue graft (CTG) techniques for papilla reconstruction

• Step-by-step analysis of clinical cases and treatment outcomes

Lesson 5. Rethinking GBR Success: Managing Failures and Achieving Predictable Bone Regeneration

• Biological principles of bone regeneration

• Indications and objectives of GBR

• Factors influencing predictable regenerative outcomes

• Principles of wound healing and space maintenance

• Aetiology of GBR failures:

  • Surgical factors: flap design, tension-free closure, membrane handling, and infection control

  • Patient-related risk factors: systemic conditions, smoking, oral hygiene, and compliance

  • Material-related factors: graft selection, membrane characteristics, stability, and fixation

  • Biological and mechanical causes of regenerative failure

• Classification and diagnosis of GBR complications:

  • Early versus late complications

  • Partial versus complete graft loss

  • Soft tissue dehiscence and membrane exposure

  • Clinical and radiographic assessment of compromised regenerative sites

• Review of representative GBR failure cases

• Identification of surgical errors and contributing risk factors

• Clinical decision-making based on radiographic and intraoperative findings

• Management of failed GBR procedures

• Immediate versus delayed intervention strategies

• Management of membrane exposure and infection

• Secondary grafting techniques and site reconstruction

• Criteria for retreatment and achieving predictable outcomes

• Prevention and long-term success

Clinical scope: Treatment outcomes depend on the patient, defect, technique, healing, and maintenance; the course does not guarantee regeneration or complete correction. Recorded instruction does not replace supervised surgical training or competency assessment. The supplied Topics order is retained; it differs from the order in the earlier expanded overview.

File scope: Event participation, publisher accounts, platform access, and publisher-hosted extras are not included.
