Minimally Invasive Surgical/Non-Surgical Treatment

Don’t miss this 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 dentists, hygienist and therapists during which the cohort will learn the theoretical aspects of regenerative/reconstructive periodontal surgery.

Following lunch Professor Nibali will conduct a ‘pig’s head’ demonstration of minimally-invasive flap designs suitable for periodontal regenerative/reconstructive surgeries. Following the demo, delegates will split into surgical (led by Prof Nibali) and non-surgical (led by Dr Rattu) groups and attend the appropriate hands-on workshop. (Workshops will run simultaneously).
