Key Learning Outcomes
Pf. Lindhe said “Bone sets the tone but soft tissue is THE ISSUE.” Many complications and failures derive from the poor handling of soft tissue and there are simple and smart ways to master soft tissue management.
In this lecture we will go through all about flap design, soft tissue augmentation, suture techniques and healing management. Especially, simple but very powerful techniques for bone and soft tissue augmentations will be shared.
Over the 30 years, GBR has been well investigated and various techniques and biomaterials have been proposed and tested in vitro, pre-clinically and clinically. The predictable way to build and maintain the alveolar bone around dental implants will be introduced. The participants will learn how to perform GBR with less bleeding for the patients and less sweating for the clinicians.

Course Director
PROF. JC (JUNG-CHUL) PARK
DDS, BS, MSD, PhD
Prof. Park studied Periodontology at Yonsei University. He acquired a PhD from the same institute and researched on stem cells acquired from inflamed periodontal ligaments. In 2013, he won the André Schroeder Research Prize for the isolation and characterisation of alveolar bone-derived stem cells obtained during implant osteotomy. In 2014-2021, he served as Chair of Periodontology at Dankook University.
Nowadays, he focuses on his private practice at Yonsei Goodday Dental Hospital in Seoul, but he continues his path as an educator through adjunct roles at Catholic University of Korea and Dankook University.
An associate editor for the Journal of Periodontal and Implant Science and an ITI Study Club co-director, Park has delivered 100+ lectures worldwide on implant dentistry and periodontology.

Prof. Park, Jung-Chul was the recipient of the 18th André Schroeder Research Prize, an annual recognition presented to a dentist who has demonstrated various clinical research and activities in the field of implant dentistry.
In 2013, the International Team for Implantology (ITI) named Prof. Park of Yonsei University as the André Schroeder Research Prize winner. Along with the research team led by Prof. Kim, Chang-sung of the Department of Periodontology at Yonsei University, Park conducted a study titled “Acquisition of Human Alveolar Bone-Derived Stromal Cells Using Minimally Irrigated Implant Osteotomy: In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation.” The team presented a paper evaluating the bone differentiation ability of periodontal stem cells obtained from bone fragments that can be extracted from within the drill during bone removal in the establishment of implants.
