Theory
Morning: VIBE and Modified Platform Technique (MPT): biological principles, case selection, indications, limitations and procedural steps for vertical soft-tissue augmentation. Clinical cases connect surgical decisions with restorative contours and tissue support.
Lunch
Afternoon: Perio-Pros: Coordinate restorative and soft-tissue treatment, from contour assessment to treatment sequencing.

DAY 3 / ZATERDAG 3 APRIL 2027
Watch microscope demonstrations through a camera feed, then practise VIBE and MPT on pig jaws. Develop tissue handling, graft stabilisation and suturing skills with individual guidance and feedback.
