Category: Surgery Instructor(s): Korkud Demirel, Burak Cankaya Course structure: Lessons: 4 lessons | Duration: 2 h 29 min Course overview Who the course is for:The course is recom mended to all dental professionals who wish to improve their suturing skills and discover the latest innovations in suturing techniques and materials. Prof. Korkud Demirel, DDS and Prof. Burak Çankaya, DDS, welcome you to Suture: Materials, Instruments and Techniques, the video course that aims to show you how to perform the best suture techniques for every clinical case. With the help of illustrative 3D animations and graphics, Professors Demirel and Çankaya explain how to perform sutures step by step, and share tips and tricks about how to select the proper instruments and materials. You will discover that sutures aren’t only useful for wound healing but help clinicians to enhance their working conditions and reach clinical goals such as flap adaptation, membrane fixation or graft positioning. Join Professors Demirel and Çankaya and start suturing like a pro! Topics covered in the course:– Instruments and materials to optimize wound healing;– Different suturing techniques: tips and tricks;– How to ensure the best possible wound healing;– How to pick the correct needle size and shape for every case;– The biology behind the suturing. At the end of the course, you will be able to:– Comprehend predictable and durable wound healing;–Select the proper threads, needles, knots and hand instruments;– Understand the clinical consequences of wound healing;– Understand why and how to choose a particular type of suture;– Discover how to avoid the most common suturing mistakes;– Know the use of sutures for purposes other than wound closure such as graft, clot, membrane stabilisation. Curriculum Lecture 1 - Suture materials and instruments In this first video lecture, Dr. Çankaya discusses about the incision lines that may affect wound healing and analyses the systemic and local factors that may lead to delays in the healing process, such as the surface angle of incision or the removal of foreign bodies. In the second part of this presentation, suture materials are discussed, paying particular attention to their biological and structural characteristics. In particular, this lecture focuses on the following topics: – Physiology of wound healing (primary, secondary and tertiary wound healing) – Which incision lines do clinicians have to avoid? – A focus on the canine zone, a very thin and fragile area – Systemic and local factors that may affect the healing – Suture materials and their classification: threads, needles, knots and hand instruments – How to read the suture label? Lecture 2 - Types of suturing techniques Prof. Demirel explains participants that one of the suture’s goals is to let tissues heal in a proper and predictable way. The lecturer provides participants with useful advice regarding how to preserve the integrity of the periodontal tissues while doing sutures to close wounds and advance flaps. In particular, this lecture focuses on the following topics: – Suture for wound closure and flap advancement – Why you should never combine closure sutures with advancement sutures – How to create the optimal conditions to let tissues heal in the best and fastest way – The key elements of continuous locking suture Lecture 3 - Suture for special needs After presenting in detail the required protocols to perform sutures for wound healing, Prof. Demirel discusses the sutures used to achieve other clinical goals such as the improvement of soft tissue graft’s adaptation, the simplification of the soft tissue graft positioning. Finally, the key features of membrane fixation sutures are illustrated. In particular, this lecture focuses on the following topics: – The proper sutures to improve the adaptation of soft tissue graft – Soft tissue graft positioning – Suture for fixation of the augmentation membrane to palatal tissue – Double-cross suture for tunnel procedure with graft positioning Lecture 4 - Assisting sutures According to Prof. Burak Çankaya, an assisting suture is a type of suture that is performed by the clinician to help himself in different clinical situations and to enhance his working condition. Proper materials and techniques will be presented by the lecturer with the help of exemplifying 3D animation. In particular, this lecture focuses on the following topics: – Retraction sutures to get a better view of the working site – Assisting suture to control the bleeding – How to secure the clot with a proper suture – A focus on decompression and securing sutures Show more
