COURSE SUMMARY
GBR & VISTA AROUND TEETH AND IMPLANTS
Vestibular Incision Subperiosteal Tunnel Access (VISTA) can be used in Oral Plastic Surgery (OPS) to address a variety of soft tissue and bone deficiencies around teeth and implants.
The concept of VISTA is very well-aligned with plastic surgical principles, offering many surgical advantages, including:
1) ease of release of tissues for tension-free mobilization of mucosa to be repositioned
2) access for placement of a variety of graft material directly over deficient sites,
3) avoidance of the need for papilla incision and
4) stabilization of tissues with bonded sutures for effective regeneration.
In addition, there are biologic advantages, such as preservation of the blood supply and enhanced healing. VISTA has a variety of applications in periodontal root coverage, peri-implant mucosal dehiscence coverage, periodontal/peri-implant regeneration, contour augmentation and phenotype modification therapy. The scientific basis for all of the concepts will be presented. This course will offers practical technical and clinical experience with advanced applications of VISTA for periodontal and peri-implant soft tissue reconstruction.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Case selection:
• Gingival/peri-implant recession defects
• Contour deficiencies
• Mucosal phenotype (biotype)
Protocol selection:
• Sequencing of VISTA mucosal augmentation with other planned therapy:
• Extraction, implant, restoration
• Alveolar ridge augmentation
• Orthodontics
Risk Assessment:
• Patient and site characteristics
• Management of patient/site risks
• Anatomic considerations and risks
Biology of wound healing:
• Biology of wound healing using various graft material
Material Selection:
• Autogenous mucosal tissues:
- Subepithelial connective tissue graft
- Palate vs tuberosity
• Allogenic grafts: acellular dermal matrix (Alloderm)
• Xenogenic collagen matrices:
- Form-stable cross-linked collagen matrix (FibroGide)
- Native collagen matrix (Mucograft)
• Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)
- Solid matrix PRF
- iPRF injectable liquid PRF
- Centrifugation protocol and rationale
Surgery:
• Treatment of advanced and generalized gingival recession defects with VISTA
• VISTA protocol for guided tissue regeneration
• Application of VISTA for peri-implant tissue augmentation
• Contour augmentation of peri-implant and pontic sites
• Phenotype conversion therapy with VISTA
Orthodontic therapy:
• Adjunctive orthodontic for gingival margin and interdental embrasure space management
• Conventional orthodontic vs clear aligner therapy
Complications:
• Prevention and management
Pre- and post-operative Care:
• Antibiotics and antiseptics
• Analgesics
• Anti-inflammatory agents
• Nutritional and herbal supplements

THE TEACHER
DR HOMA H. ZADEH
DDS PhD
Dr. Zadeh is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and Implant Surgery. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from USC Ostrow School of Dentistry. He completed post-doctoral clinical training in periodontology, as well as a PhD degree in immunology, at the University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC) School of Dental Medicine and School of Medicine, respectively. Dr Zadeh served as full time faculty for 28 years, earning tenure status at the University of Southern California. He also served as director of postdoctoral periodontology program (2012-2019).
Dr. Zadeh is internationally recognized for his clinical and scientific expertise. He has lectured nationally and internationally in over 40 countries at prestigious conferences on topics ranging from aesthetics to minimally invasive periodontal and implant surgery, as well as tissue engineering. Dr Zadeh has published over 100 journal articles in peer review journals, reviews, abstracts and book chapters.
Dr. Zadeh served as president of the Western Society of Periodontology (WSP) in 2017. Dr. Zadeh is the innovator of the VISTA technique recognized around the world as one of the most effective methods for the treatment of soft tissue and bone deficiencies around teeth and implants. He has also innovated many concepts and devices, which have been patented and developed into products in clinical use in many countries.
Dr Zadeh directs the VISTA Institute for Therapeutic Innovations, with blended educational pedagogy on a variety of clinically relevant topics. He maintains a private practice of periodontology and implant surgery in Southern California.
