Dr. Martina Stefanini
This comprehensive program focuses on identifying, preventing, and managing surgical errors and complications in periodontal plastic surgery and peri-implant soft tissue procedures. Through a structured blend of theoretical lectures, step-by-step clinical case analysis, and a hands-on surgical video, the course provides practical strategies to achieve predictable, minimally invasive, and stress-free outcomes.
Rather than only teaching ideal techniques, the course emphasizes real-world failure scenarios, helping clinicians understand why complications occur and how to manage them effectively during diagnosis, surgery, maintenance, and long-term follow-up.
🔹 What This Course Teaches
Participants gain deep insight into the risk factors underlying surgical failure, learning how to recognize and correct errors before they compromise outcomes.

-
10 in-depth theoretical video lectures
-
1 hands-on surgical video performed on a pig jaw
-
Total duration: 8 hours 27 minutes
-
