Lorenzo Tavelli’s contemporary soft-tissue grafting — 11 lessons of minimally invasive protocols and live surgery
New matrices and growth factors have quietly rewritten soft-tissue surgery, and Contemporary Soft Tissue Grafting, Surgery and Science brings you up to date. Across eleven lessons and more than ten hours, Harvard periodontologist Lorenzo Tavelli covers phenotype, root coverage, connective-tissue and free gingival grafts, dermal and collagen matrices, tissue engineering and three filmed operations.

What you’ll be able to do
- Assess periodontal and peri-implant phenotype and recession
- Choose between autogenous grafts and soft-tissue substitutes
- Weigh coronally advanced flap against tunnel techniques
- Apply acellular dermal and xenogeneic collagen matrices correctly
- Prevent and treat peri-implant soft-tissue dehiscence
Inside the course
Anatomy and the graft decision
Early lessons establish healthy anatomy and phenotype assessment, then revisit whether keratinised tissue is truly needed and where the free gingival graft still earns its place.
Techniques and biomaterials
Tavelli compares flap and tunnel approaches, details connective-tissue graft harvesting and palatal healing, and works through dermal matrices, collagen matrices and growth-factor-mediated coverage.
Peri-implant and live surgery
A dedicated lesson on implant dehiscence precedes three filmed operations that show these matrices and flaps used on real adjacent recessions.
