01 / PHILOSOPHY

KATA BEFORE TECHNIQUE

Advanced surgery begins
with disciplined fundamentals.

SURGICAL DOJO is not a collection of isolated techniques. It is a progressive training experience built around Kata—the precise, repeatable form that supports clinical judgment. Control the tissue. Read the defect. Reconstruct what was lost.

KATA

The fundamental form behind every surgical procedure, built on precision and attention to detail.

Master the essentials behind every surgery.

Before advanced techniques comes disciplined form. Develop delicate incision, elevation, and suturing skills—then learn how instrument choice and flap release shape every clinical outcome.

  • Microsurgical incision, elevation, and suturing
  • Instrument selection and optimal handling
  • Three methods of flap release
  • Flap formation for CTG, GBR, regeneration, and papilla reconstruction
  • Periodontal initial therapy: the foundation before surgery
  • Integrated hands-on execution through GBR

Included Lunch · Light refreshments after the course · Tokyo experience (Asakusa) following the refreshments

DAY 02TUE · 11 MAY 202710:00—16:00

PERIODONTAL REGENERATION

Rebuilding the lost supporting tissues to save the natural tooth.

Save the tooth.

From Conventional to Contemporary Techniques

Study a real patient procedure, reproduce the same defect on a model, and repeat the surgery with Dr. Ogawa’s refinements. The focus is contemporary papilla-preserving design without interdental incision.

  • Entire Papilla Preservation Technique · EPPT
  • Coronally Advanced EPPT
  • Double-sided Entire Papilla Preservation Technique · DEPPT
  • NIPSA and AICAST
  • Extended Flap, MIST, and Modified-MIST
  • Every procedure taught through the Ogawa approach

Included Lunch · Japanese dinner after the course

DAY 03WED · 12 MAY 202710:00—15:00

PAPILLA RECONSTRUCTION

Restoring the interdental papilla — the most delicate goal in periodontal surgery.

Beyond the Evidence

Unite hard- and soft-tissue principles.

Papilla reconstruction is the destination reached after integrating Days 1 and 2. Master the three essential elements that make reconstruction possible and apply them through advanced hands-on training.

  • Supra-alveolar Periodontal Reconstruction · SAPRe
  • Modified SAPRe
  • PFT Tunnel
  • Modified DEPPT
  • Integrated papilla reconstruction workflow

03 / CLINICAL CASES

REAL CASE · SAME DEFECT · REPEATED EXECUTION

See the surgery.
Rebuild the decision.

Every technique begins with diagnosis and ends with tissue stability. These clinical cases connect flap design, graft positioning, suturing strategy, and long-term reconstruction.
