Periodontology implantology master class

One single training for a global skill!

Tunneling Academy’s mission is to give you within 3 days the theoretical knowledge and the technical skills necessary for soft tissue management by the Tunneling technique, in periodontology and in implantology. We are committed to offering an original, thorough and demanding training, but conducted in a relaxed atmosphere that encourages exchanges and experience sharing. All treatment concepts and techniques developed in the Tunneling book By Dr. Ronco, will be taught during this 3-day hands-on training

The program goes even beyond the scope of the book, particularly in implantology. The management of fibromucosa on the edentulous ridge, during and after bone reconstruction, and around implants will be discussed in theory and practice.

Whatever your starting skills in periodontal plastic surgery and implantology, this training is dedicated to your progress.

Program

A theoretical course, illustrated with photos and videos, serves as a common thread and allows to contextualize the practical work carried out on at least 4 original educational models designed specifically by Dr. Ronco.

Each concept, method, or technique presented is immediately implemented on the different materials.

The distribution of time by type of teaching is approximately 90% for practical work and 10% for theoretical courses.

Innovative concepts will be discussed in particular in the field of sutures, graft harvesting, etc.

Goals for days 1and 2

management of soft tissues around natural teeth in the mandible and the maxilla

Extensive training in micro-surgery
Analyze clinical situations and choose the most relevant therapy
Modify the cemento-enamel junction to increase the accuracy of coverage
Retrieve grafts reproducibly using the most appropriate technique, from the palate or the tuberosities
Protect effectively the harvested sites
Modify the aesthetic and functional parameters at operated site: cover the roots, create keratinized tissue, increase the gingival biotype, etc.
Optimize the stability of long-term clinical outcomes
Manage complications

Goals for Day 3

management of soft tissue around implants

Analyze clinical situations and choose the most relevant therapy
Retrieve grafts reproducibly using the most suited technique for implantology
Protect effectively the harvested sites
Optimizing pocket and tunnel techniques for implantology
Modify aesthetic and functional parameters in extraction sockets, edentulous ridges, bone reconstruction sites and implants
Optimize the stability of long-term clinical outcomes
Manage complications

From a practical point of view, we provide everything that is essential for the training: working models, micro-surgical instruments, sutures, surgical magnifying glasses… However, we strongly recommend you to come with your own magnifying glasses/light (2.5 to 4.5 times zoom is ideal) and with your own micro-surgery case. It is indeed with these devices that you will work the day after this training, you might as well practice your gestures directly with them.

We also recommend that you have read the Tunneling book so that you already get an overview of the treatment philosophy and the surgical concepts that will be covered. You will thus benefit even more from the practical work.

Lecturers

Dr. Vincent RONCO DDS, MSc, PG

Dr Ronco completed his dental degree and his Master of Sciences at the University of Paris, before completing postgraduate training in periodontics and implantology from the University of Liège, Belgium. He maintains a practice limited to periodontics and implantology in Paris, France. He has been committed for a long time, as a writer and as a lecturer, to soft tissue management. He has notably developed a novative suture technique named Belt & Suspenders, and the micrografting concept.

Dr. Eric DAVID, DDS

Dr David obtained his dental degree from the University of Paris, before completing postgraduate training in periodontics and implantology. He maintains a practice limited to periodontics and implantology in Paris, France. He is a renowned author and lecturer. He has been long involved in teaching as co-director of the Implantology Diplomas at the University of Evry Paris-Saclay and at the University of Paris-Est Creteil.

Dr laurent Seilinger

Excellent training, very interactive and practice-oriented. Strongly recommended.

Dr Arnaud Hemamouche

Excellent training! One of the few master class where the practical work is at least as rich as the theoretical content, if not more. The team was very present to guide us and explain all the useful tricks. Various technical materials, from the anatomical resin frasaco to visualize to the pig's jaw to feel and apply the gestures with the necessary smoothness. A very friendly and convenient setting. Arriving from Nîmes, the proximity to the Gare de Lyon is very appreciable. Immediately implementable in the clinic, everything is designed to take us by the hand and guide us from learning to practice on our own. Dr. RONCO, Dr. DAVID, and all the team, you know how much I will ever be thankful for all our past and future conversations.

Dr. Julien Biton

This is a great course, with direct application of the theoretical concepts presented! I recommend to everyone !

Dr Boccara Gary

Very thorough and professional training, orchestrated by Vincent Ronco and Eric David. If you want to get started with gingival grafts and the Tunneling technique, this course is for you. I recommend it with no hesitation. Vincent Ronco's Tunneling book is essential for the right practice of this therapy tehnique. Thanks to them for their quality teaching.

Dr. Van Tinh PHAM

Without doubt one of the best courses I have ever attended. Each concept and technique is fully explained and immediately put into practice by practical work on materials designed for training. And what's more, in a convivial atmosphere! I recommend to everyone ! Beginners will find techniques that can be applied immediately in everyday life. Those who already practice will discover innovative concepts. And those who are resistant to surgery will leave with a very clear idea of the indications, possibilities and limitations of mucogingival surgery.

Dr. Olivier Seror

Before this training, in my opinion, tunneling, palatal harvesting and gingival reshaping around natural teeth or the implants I was placing were reserved for an elite group of which I was far from being part. Eric David and Vincent Ronco have proved me wrong. At the end of this training, which includes as much practice as theory, certain apprehensions disappeared and I started to propose to my patients procedures that seemed to be inaccessible until then. Strongly recommended.

Dr. Guyot Paul-Arthur

I can only recommend this training! The clear, precise and simple explanations, combined with hours of practice on the model provided during the course, enabled me to approach my first periodontal surgeries calmly. I would do it again. Thanks again for sharing such knowledge.
