COURSE OVERVIEW
In this course we will explore the clinical role of Soft tissue in long-term esthetic and functional success around both natural teeth and dental implants. This comprehensive course is designed to provide clinicians with the necessary tools for a good classification of gingival recessions and mucogingival defects around teeth and implants. You will have case discussions and a decision tree which will help you improve your diagnoses and treatment plans.
Through interactive case discussions, clinical videos, and comparison of treatment modalities, clinicians will gain a clearer understanding of when and how to intervene. A structured decision tree will guide you through the diagnostic and treatment planning process, helping you choose the most appropriate and predictable therapeutic approach for each clinical scenario.
