ITI Masterclass Uperio Liège

Enhancing peri implant soft tissues with mucogingival surgeries

Prof. Dr. France Lambert & Dr. Bruno de Carvalho

The quality of peri-implant soft tissues is crucial for the long-term stability and aesthetics of dental implants. The absence of keratinized gingiva promotes plaque accumulation, tissue inflammation, and underlying bone remodeling. 

Furthermore, the aesthetic outcome of implant-supported restorations in the aesthetic zone heavily depends on the harmony between the gingiva and the prosthetic crown.  For these reasons, optimizing the quality and quantity of fibrous gingiva around implants is essential.

The aim of this Master Class is to highlight surgical techniques to optimize or regenerate soft tissues at implant sites, whetherbefore, during, or, in some cases, after implant placement.  

These techniques will be demonstrated through clinical cases and clinical videos, with participants gaining practical experience by performing these procedures on pork jaws during the hands-on session.

Currently she is Professor and Head of the Department of Periodontology, Oral Surgery and Implant Surgery at University of Liège in Belgium and the co-director of the dental Biomaterials Research Unit (d-BRU). Her clinical activity is dedicated to periodontology and implantology. France Lambert is also the Past President of the Belgian Society of Periodontology and Delegate at the European Federation of Periodontology.Dr. Bruno De Carvalho graduated in Dentistry in 2013 in Portugal and completed his EFP Postgraduate Program in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry at the University of Liège in 2017. He is currently pursuing a PhD focused on the performance of biomaterials used for bone regeneration.

Dr. De Carvalho serves as Head of Clinic in the Department of Periodontology, Oro-Dental, and Implant Surgery at the University Hospital of Liège, and co-coordinates the EFP Postgraduate Program in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry. He is also the President of the Belgian Society of Periodontology and ITI Fellow. His clinical work is dedicated to implantology, bone regeneration, mucogingival surgery, and periodontology.
