The Regeneration Course Minimally Invasive Surgical/Non Surgical Techniques
An exclusive opportunity to experience a unique combination of lecture and hands-on workshop delivered by world renowned Specialist in Periodontics Professor Luigi Nibali accompanied by Dr Varkha Rattu.
The morning session will comprise a joint 2-handed lecture for all clinicians - specialists, dentists, hygienists and therapists. The cohort will learn the theoretical aspects of:
- Infrabony defects – causes, types, classification
- Wound healing – with a particular focus on regeneration vs repair
- Principles and techniques used in regenerative surgery
- Principles and techniques used for minimally invasive non-surgical therapy (MINST)
The workshops will run concurrently after lunch and are an opportunity to have 'hands-on' experience with NSK products suitable for minimally invasive procedures.
