Periodontal plastic surgery is not defined by surgical tricks or sophisticated instruments
—
it is defined by biology
Predictable clinical success is achieved when the surgeon understands how tissues heal, handles them with precision and respect, and executes every step of the surgical sequence with purpose.
Excellence in mucogingival surgery lies not only in technical skill but also in understanding the biological rationale behind each clinical decision. Every incision, flap elevation, graft placement, and suture contributes to the healing cascade. When these steps are performed in the correct sequence and according to sound biological principles, predictable outcomes become the rule rather than the exception.
Our goal is to distill advanced periodontal plastic surgery around teeth and implants into practical, evidence-based protocols that can be applied consistently in daily clinical practice. By combining biological understanding with simplified surgical workflows, we aim to help clinicians achieve reproducible, long-term results while making complex procedures more accessible, efficient, and predictable.

Meet the people behind Periomasters
Dr. Karlis is a board-certified periodontist accredited by the Dutch Federation of Periodontology (NVvP) and the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP). He obtained his dental degree from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, before moving to the Netherlands to pursue his ambition of becoming a specialist in periodontology.
He completed his postgraduate training in periodontology in 2020 at the Academic Center for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA), graduating with distinction (cum laude) for his clinical performance. Since then, Dr. Karlis has been practicing exclusively in the field of periodontology and implantology at the Periodontal Practice Zwolle in the Netherlands.
