The course
The implant can be seen through the surrounding tissues.
Soft Tissue Management is one of the two Level 5 · DIAMOND courses: it addresses peri-implant tissues using the mucogingival approach, from immediate placement to peri-implant recession.
Theory is supplemented by instructional videos; practical training takes place on models and fresh animal tissues — not on patients.
Enrolment is open upon completion of the three Level 4 · EXPERT specialities. The two DIAMOND courses run in parallel and, once both have been completed, grant access to the DIAMOND certification. When purchased together, they cost €4,500 (DIAMOND COMPLETION) instead of €5,000: this rate applies only to the immediate purchase of the entire level; those who enrol in one course at a time pay €2,500 each. The package must be requested from the administration office and covers one enrolment for each course in the level: a certificate of attendance is issued for each course, and a level certificate upon completion of the level. The fees for the courses and packages are quoted inclusive of a receipt and exclusive of VAT.
What you will learn
The programme alternates between theory, with instructional videos, and practical work on models.
01
Theoretical programme
- Timing of implant placement in periodontal patients
- Alveolar bone and native alveolar bone (bundle bone)
- Keratinised tissue and soft tissue thickness
- The transmucosal approach
- Extraction for dental or periodontal reasons: the decision tree
- Vestibular recessions on implants and natural teeth
- Integrated prosthetic and surgical approach
- Augmentation of keratinised tissue before and after placement
- Mucogingival approach with delayed and immediate implant placement, with video demonstration
02
Practical programme using models and fresh animal tissues
- Implant placement with simultaneous connective tissue grafting
- Augmentation of peri-implant keratinised tissue
Why this course
Why this course
The result the patient sees — The success of implant rehabilitation is also judged by the appearance of the soft tissues, which is what remains visible.
Decision-making before treatment — Extraction for dental or periodontal reasons leads to different choices: the course builds a decision tree rather than providing a one-size-fits-all solution.
Keratinised tissue: quantity and thickness — Two distinct parameters, with different consequences for the transmucosal path and long-term stability.
Videos and hands-on practice combined — Procedures are demonstrated in videos and then carried out on models and fresh animal tissue.

Assessment and certification
Assessment and certification
The assessment is practical and takes place during the hands-on session using models and animal tissues.
Upon completion, AMI issues the professional training certificate in Soft Tissue Management, valid for Level 5 · DIAMOND. Once both DIAMOND courses have been completed, following the three EXPERT specialities, the DIAMOND certification is awarded.
