Optimal esthetic results are dependent on multiple factors. Restorative issues such as shade, form and function are not a success without esthetic gingival contours. This lecture will discuss gingival augmentation techniques for root
coverage and pontic sites. Current concepts with anterior esthetic crown lengthening will also be discussed.
It will show how crown lengthening or connective tissue grafting might be used in implant cases. Many concepts for predictable esthetic outcomes will be presented. Complications will also be discussed and how to deal with them. Treatment planning and sequencing of therapy will be stressed especially when treating complex cases involving multiple adjacent teeth.
The participants will learn:
