Description

This session is designed to deepen your understanding and skills in key periodontal therapies and their integral role in both preventative care and foundational stabilization for comprehensive dental treatment.

Objectives

Periodontics at the Core: We'll start by solidifying your grasp on how periodontics underpins the prevention of dental diseases and prepares the ground for overall oral health and restorative success. Navigating Soft Tissue Grafting: We'll delve into when and why soft tissue grafting is necessary, discussing various techniques and their outcomes to manage gum recession and achieve esthetic enhancements. Optimizing with Dental Implants: Transitioning to dental implants, we'll explore how periodontal health is pivotal for implant success, focusing on the synergy between implants and periodontal therapy. Bone Grafting and Preservation: Understanding the types of bone grafts and the science of osseointegration is key. We'll cover how to maintain bone health post-extraction and the strategies for successful implant integration. Practical Insights through Case Studies: Real-world case studies will illustrate the application of these periodontal procedures, highlighting interdisciplinary approaches and clinical decision-making for complex situations. Ensuring Longevity: Finally, we'll discuss post-procedural care and maintenance strategies to prevent complications like peri-implantitis, ensuring the durability of our periodontal and implant work.
