The full course program
Module 1: PERIODONTAL SURGERY
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
The first stage of this learning experience focuses on the theoretical aspects characterizing the rationale behind periodontal surgery.

Participants will receive a comprehensive and up to-date training on the latest developments in the surgical management of simple and complex cases with standard and replicable protocols.

The module consists of 5 theoretical video lectures during which various clinical cases are presented.

Specific attention is paid to periodontal anatomy and diagnosis, palatal connective graft harvesting and placement techniques, and the management of coronal displaced flaps.
Module 2: ROOT COVERAGE PROCEDURES FOR THE TREATMENT OF SINGLE GINGIVAL RECESSION
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
In this second module, Prof. Zucchelli deals with the techniques and protocols that every periodontist should fully master to manage the treatment of single gingival recession with competence and efficiency.

From the protocol for coronal flap repositioning to the techniques for the harvesting, processing and positioning of palatal connective grafts, passing through the analysis of the best practices for clinical crown lengthening and augmentation, to the use of matrices for root coverage.

The module consists of 6 video lectures, including 5 ReLIVE Surgeries in which the participant will be guided step by step in the process of acquisition of practical and theoretical skills that will assist him in the continuation of his daily clinical activity.
Module 3: ROOT COVERAGE PROCEDURES FOR THE TREATMENT OF MULTIPLE GINGIVAL RECESSIONS
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
After having comprehensively discussed single gingival recessions, in this training module Prof. Zucchelli's main focus is on the management of multiple recessions.

The techniques examined in the previous module such as coronal flap displacement and the application of grafts and matrices represent the basis for approaching the clinical cases presented here.

Thanks to the ReLIVE Surgeries, commented punctually by Prof. Zucchelli, participants will observe the protocols for performing distal releases and the innovative 'Connective Wall Technique'.

The final clinical cases will be exemplary: risk factors are discussed, with a special focus on their prevention and intra-operative management.
Module 4: BILAMINAR TECHNIQUES FOR GINGIVAL RECESSIONS
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
The bilaminar technique is increasingly used to manage recessions due to its effectiveness and predictability, without considering the biological advantages that allow better tissue healing.

In this module, Prof. Zucchelli illustrates the protocols behind the bilaminar grafting technique in mucogingival surgery.
The differences between the use of single and multiple bilaminar flaps is discussed and the rationale behind the selection of one or the other flap is explained.

Through the viewing of ReLIVE Surgeries, participants will experience surgical procedures for covering severely deep gingival recessions and managing very exposed root elements.
Module 5: PERIODONTAL REGENERATIVE PROCEDURES
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
This module, fully focused on periodontal regenerative procedures, comprises three theory lectures preparatory to the optimal fruition of the following ReLIVE Surgeries.

Prof. Zucchelli presents the rationalestrong> behind the decision whether to extract or regenerate the dental element according to the different entities of the periodontal defect.

Diagnostic protocols, various types of vertical bone defects and techniques such as the Wall Technique are examined in detail in the initial theoretical part of the course and then transferred into practice with the ReLIVE Surgeries.
Module 6: SOFT TISSUE SURGERY IN IMPLANT THERAPY
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
In this module, Prof. Zucchelli gives participants a comprehensive overview of the most important aspects of peri-implant soft tissue treatment and prevention.

The similarities and differences between recessions around teeth and those around implants are thoroughly explained, and complex treatment protocols such as post-implant vestibuloplasty are reviewed.

In addition, participants will discover the risk factors of the regenerative therapy in the aesthetic area and how to address and prevent them.

Complete surgery with implant placement using a computer-guided approach is also shown, and the strategies for achieving aesthetically pleasing results are analysed.
Module 7: MANAGEMENT OF POST-EXTRACTIVE AND SOFT TISSUE DEHISCENCE AROUND IMPLANT
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
The lecture starts from a critical analysis of the literature concerning the soft tissue coverage of dehiscence around implants, and moves then to a description of the key factors the periodontist must consider while approaching soft tissue dehiscence around single implant: CTG positioning and features, soft tissue volumes and relationship between CTG + CAF.
Module 8: SOFT TISSUE AUGMENTATION PROCEDURE BEFORE AND AFTER IMPLANT INSTALLATION
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
This module offers the latest guidelines on soft tissue augmentation procedures around osteointegrated implants.

Among the covered topics there are keratinised tissue augmentation, the performance of mucogingival surgery for implant coverage, and the use of the connective platform technique to fill edentulous saddles.

During the 4 ReLIVE Surgeries that compose the module, participants will acquire the knowledge and confidence necessary to successfully perform these complex procedures.
Module 9: TREATMENT OF GINGIVAL RECESSIONS AROUND IMPLANTS
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson.
The last module of the learning experience offered by "Zucchelli Channel" sees an in-depth discussion about the management of gingival recessions and soft tissue around the implant.

Prof. Zucchelli provides an in-depth explanation aimed at making participants aware of the procedures for immediate post-extractive implant placement with and without the use of CTG.

At the end of this module, participants will be able to manage complex cases and perform in the best possible way each surgical step preparatory to achieving optimal aesthetic-functional results.
