This full day seminar focuses on the management of various aesthetic challenges we face during rehabilitation of the anterior maxilla. There are several anatomic landmarks or findings that test our treatment planning and treatment delivery abilities. Periodontal surgeries can improve upon high smile lines (gummy smiles), excessive gingival display, mucogingival deformities and restorative shortcomings or challenges. The use of implants with careful planning and consideration of all biological principles (for soft and hard tissues) can truly offer some amazing "comebacks" in otherwise devastating scenarios. Implant designs and knowhow allow us to utilize our knowledge in periodontal surgery and soft tissue healing to enhance our final anterior restorative results. Anterior Aesthetic cases will be highlighted in this course from beginning to end, with and without the use of implants.
All participants will leave this seminar with a clear understanding of the difficulties that lie in treatment planning the Anterior Maxilla and some Treatment Planning tips/tricks to avoid complications or to manage them when they occur.
