Enhancing the Beauty and Longevity of Implant and Tooth Supported Restorations with Aesthetic Periodontal Surgery

About this Seminar

This presentation with a strong clinical emphasis, will review the fundamental diagnostic and surgical principles and techniques essential to achieving the triad of enduring esthetics, function and health in dentistry. The focus will be on moving away from short term gain, with an emphasis on achieving long-term stability when treatment planning and executing periodontal and peri-implant surgery. The presentation will also touch on current concepts of homecare customization and the use of Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) as a systematic and evidenced based tool to manage biofilm induced and host mediated inflammation seen in both periodontal and peri-implant diseases.
