Course Description

Planning for aesthetic predictability and success in implant dentistry represents a great challenge for the dental team. The aesthetic outcome and natural appearance of the implant restoration depends ultimately on the execution and understanding of the team participating in the different treatment phases. The goal to create a harmonious “esthetic” outcome around dental implants that mimics the surrounding dentition and soft-tissue condition as well as morphology is indeed difficult to create and maintain long term. The presentation focuses on the different clinical criteria and current surgical-prosthetic techniques for maximizing optimal aesthetics in conjunction with orthodontics a critical element for achieving gingival integration and aesthetic success in complex implant failures.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the importance of CTG around dental implants for long term results
• Learn basic concepts of timing and sequencing with orthodontic treatments
• Techniques and tools to ensure predictable surgical & prosthetic results
