Dr. Vincent Ronco

Dr. Vincent Ronco, DDS, MSc, PG is a well-established clinician and lecturer with over 15 years of full-time clinical experience in Periodontology and Implantology. He completed his Doctorate in Dental Surgery and Master of Science at the University of Paris, followed by postgraduate training in Periodontology and Implantology at the University of Liège, Belgium.

He currently maintains a private practice in Paris, France, limited exclusively to periodontology and implantology, with a strong focus on periodontal plastic surgery and soft tissue management in the esthetic zone.

Dr. Ronco has been long committed to education and scientific dissemination as a lecturer and author, particularly in the field of soft tissue management. He is the developer of the innovative Belt & Suspenders suturing technique and the micrografting concept, both widely applied in contemporary clinical practice.

Course Overview

Tunneling Master Class at Teeth and Implants is an intensive hands-on course focused on modern tunneling techniques for soft tissue augmentation around teeth and implants. The program covers both maxillary and mandibular approaches, with a strong emphasis on connective tissue graft (CTG) biology, surgical precision, and clinical decision-making.

The course combines theoretical lectures and practical training, led by Dr. Ronco, aiming to achieve predictable, long-term aesthetic outcomes.

What You Will Learn

Preoperative analysis of dental, mucogingival, and muscular anatomy;
Clinical decision trees and comparative therapeutic options;
Reconstruction of the cementoenamel junction;
Connective tissue graft harvesting techniques: palatal grafts and donor site protection; tuberosity grafts;
Biological properties and indications of CTGs according to their origin;
Maxilla-specific tunneling techniques;
Surgical techniques for the maxilla: coronally advanced tunnelized flaps; conventional and “expanded” submerged grafts; micrografts;
Mandible-specific tunneling techniques, including the META (Muscle Evicted Tunneling Approach)
Surgical techniques for the mandible: partially exposed grafts; submerged grafts with lateral, apical, or dual closure.

Benefits for Participants

Master predictable tunneling techniques around teeth and implants;
Improve esthetic and functional treatment outcomes;
Gain a deeper understanding of soft tissue biology and graft behavior;
Increase confidence in surgical planning and execution;
Apply the acquired knowledge directly in daily clinical practice.
