Covering recessions predictably — coronally advanced flaps, tunnels, VISTA and palatal harvesting from four periodontists
Recession treatment is examined from diagnosis to complications in Mucogingival surgery: root coverage protocols 2.0, taught by Mariano Sanz, Homa Zadeh, Robert Carvalho da Silva and Ilham Mounssif. Seven lessons totalling 10 h 28 min deal with classification and prognosis, single and multiple defects in both arches, connective tissue grafts and their substitutes, several harvesting methods, and the updated VISTA approach from its originator.

What you’ll be able to do
- Classify a recession, locate the clinical CEJ and estimate the maximum achievable coverage
- Treat single and multiple defects with the coronally advanced envelope flap
- Close adjacent recessions using tunnel and VISTA techniques, including the zipper approach
- Choose between trap-door, L-incision, single-incision and de-epithelialised FGG harvests
- Decide when a connective tissue graft, xenograft substitute or Emdogain is justified
- Recognise and manage graft necrosis and other root coverage complications
Inside the course
Diagnosis and prognosis
Lessons on planning and diagnosis cover the causes of recession, prognostic factors, non-carious cervical lesions, phenotype assessment and the goals of surgery, giving you a decision framework before any flap is raised.
Flap and tunnel protocols
Step-by-step coronally advanced flaps for single and multiple recessions sit alongside envelope techniques with autologous grafts in the maxilla, a tunnel protocol for adjacent teeth and filmed VISTA demonstrations.
Donor site technique
A dedicated hour links palatal anatomy to harvest choice, walks through de-epithelialised FGG surgery, compares the options and explains primary-intention healing of the palate and its complications.
Pitfalls and phenotype modification
Two hours on complications add a decision tree, recessions following orthodontics and xenograft use. The closing VISTA lesson contrasts split- and full-thickness flaps and explains when to augment mucosa, bone or both.
Built for
- Periodontists refining root coverageCurrent protocols and their failure modes from leading academics.
- Implant surgeons and oral surgeonsPhenotype modification thinking that carries over to implant sites.
- General dentists performing graftsA clear route from recession classification to a matched technique.

Before you buy
Is there overlap between the lessons?
Some — with four speakers, classification, prognosis and graft indications are revisited from different angles in several lessons.
Are surgical procedures shown on video?
Yes, tunnelling and VISTA are demonstrated on video, and flap and harvest techniques are presented step by step.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
