TARGETED RESECTIVE SURGERY: PRECISION POCKET REDUCTION IN THE M.I.T. FRAMEWORK

This webinar presents a minimally invasive approach to resective periodontal surgery, focusing on conservative pocket reduction, precise osseous recontouring, soft‑tissue management, and modern instrumentation. Indications, aesthetic considerations, and integration with regenerative therapy are covered.

While regeneration represents the ideal outcome, certain clinical scenarios require strategic resective approaches to achieve periodontal stability. This webinar reframes resective surgery within the minimally invasive therapy framework, demonstrating how modern techniques allow for conservative, site-specific pocket reduction with minimal sacrifice of supporting tissues. Participants will learn precise osseous recontouring methods, soft tissue management strategies, and the role of advanced instrumentation in achieving optimal tissue architecture. We’ll explore when resective therapy remains the treatment of choice, how to combine it with regenerative approaches in the same patient, and techniques for maintaining aesthetics while achieving therapeutic endpoints. Special attention will be given to ergonomics and instrumentation that enhance surgical precision and efficiency.
