Connect graft selection with harvesting, adaptation and stabilization.
With Dr. David Wong
Course information
Plan the tissue. Understand the graft.
Study soft-tissue grafting with Dr. David Wong, from comparing allografts and autografts to preparing the recipient site and securing the graft. The course brings together presentations, whiteboard explanations and surgical demonstrations.
Explore connective tissue grafts, free gingival grafts, tuberosity grafts and socket seal grafts. Patient footage, cadaver demonstrations and pig-model exercises show the procedures from different teaching perspectives, with clinical cases connecting technique selection to the site.
The 11-section curriculum contains 51 entries. Its 49 timed recordings add up to 4 hours and 35 minutes; two entries do not list a runtime. Revisit individual demonstrations or follow the full sequence at your own pace.

Selection · Harvesting · Stabilization
Understand the choice behind each graft.
Different grafts answer different soft-tissue problems. Connect the indication with the technique rather than learning the procedure in isolation.
Use the case presentations to understand the treatment objective, then turn to the demonstrations to examine the surgical steps. The planning and Q&A lessons bring the options together for structured review.
“
Assess the site. Select the graft. Review the technique.
What you’ll learn
From graft selection to site stabilization.
01
Allograft or autograft
Compare graft sources using three allograft case presentations and a whiteboard explanation.
02
Connective tissue grafting
Follow harvesting, incision design, flap reflection, graft shaping and fixation demonstrations.
03
Free gingival grafting
Review palatal harvesting and graft stabilization, with cases before GBR and around implant placement.
04
Tuberosity and socket seal grafts
Explore indications and watch harvesting and recipient-site placement on cadaver demonstrations.
05
