Several techniques and materials have been investigated for soft tissue augmentation at implant sites, with autogenous grafts that seem to be the treatment of choice. Peri-implant soft tissue dehiscence will also be discussed, including their risk factors, classification and treatment.

Learning Objectives

Learn the definition of Peri-implant phenotype, its components and their effect on implant health
Treatment approaches for peri-implant phenotype modification
Learn the risk factors associated with Peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences/deficiencies
Learn the recent classification of Peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences/deficiencies
Treatment approaches for Peri-implant soft tissue dehiscences/deficiencies

Course Description

Dentofacial deformities in adults require the combination and skills of the orthodontist and maxilofacial surgeon. In order to achieve all the functional and esthetic goals. In digital dentistry’s days virtual planning of orthodontics and orthognatic surgical corrections has become a valuable tool. Results can be compared to planning both for reevaluation and sharing information with colleagues and our patients. Virtual planning account for more reliable and precise results in our orthognatic surgery. Orthodontic preparation is the gold standard for maximizing the surgical correction. Cases will illustrate our treatment protocol from A to Z for these complex and challenging situations.

Learning Objectives

Better understanding of the advantages of a team approach to the correction of dentofacial deformities integrating Orthodontics & Orthognatic Surgery
