Course Description

Gingival design and conditioning in the aesthetic zone.
Delivering a restorative work over implants and achieve a natural contour of the soft tissue requires handling and control of many steps during the surgical treatment.
Mastering bone reconstruction, implant placement, and soft tissue graft techniques sometimes are not enough…. We need also to control how to customize and modify the shape of the tissues previously grafted.
This lecture brings step by step techniques on how to perform controlled and precise modification of the “Pink” anatomy, giving shape to pontics, papillae and emergence profile, in order to obtain the gingival “frame” for our crowns.

Learning Objectives

• Learn the importance of the digital design on surgical cases on the aesthetic zone
• Impression for conditioned tissue
