Assoc. Prof. Mario Beretta DDS, PhD, MSc (Italy)
Associate Professor Mario Beretta graduated in Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics, University of Milan in 1999, specialising in Oral Surgery. He is Associate Professor of Odontostomatological Diseases at
the University of Milan (Department of Biomedical, Surgical, and Dental Sciences) with areas of interests in implantology, bone reconstruction techniques, and periodontology. Associate Professor Beretta carries out research aimed at perfecting implant systems, computer-assisted guided surgery methods and digital dentistry, and identifying clinical protocols aimed at reducing treatment times and post-operative discomfort. He is a speaker at national and international scientific congresses and has authored numerous publications in national and international journals.

About the event
At this interactive workshop you will:
• Work with novel collagen matrices on pig jaws
• Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of autologous tissue & biomaterials
• Further develop your skills in flap design, soft tissue handling, and suturing
• What suture should you use and when?
• Small group, maximum time with Associate Professor Beretta
This workshop will present surgical protocols associated with peri-implant soft tissue management and periodontal plastic surgery.
Current concepts for augmenting peri-implant soft tissues are based on the use of autologous tissue, most often harvested from the palatal area. Autologous tissue grafts do have several disadvantages and limitations, including:
• Finite availability and variable thickness of the donor tissue according to the anatomic dimensions of the palatal vault.
• Limited graft length and thickness due to anatomy (i.e., a thick alveolar process, exostoses, and the palatine nerves and blood vessels).
• Donor site morbidity (pain and numbness at the donor site).
• Aesthetic compromises.
To overcome these research has focused on the development of suitable soft tissue graft substitutes. At this workshop you will work with a variety of biomaterials that demonstrate
favourable biological behaviour, allowing for normal modeling and remodeling processes to occur. Using collagen matrices allows for gaining width of keratinised tissues and for increasing soft tissue volume.
