<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Our patients are requesting almost perfect esthetic results. Restorative dentistry is responding with new materials and techniques that allow wonderful tooth mimicking. In many cases, especially in implant dentistry, the challenge still present today relies on soft tissue management. Periodontal surgery is evolving to meet these challenges into a new concept termed
The Art and Science of Surgical Crown Lengthening
LOD-137-00
Dr. Barry Wagenberg
Surgical Crown Lengthening is one of the most misunderstood and difficult procedures to perform. It's time consuming, it's technically and psychologically difficult, and requires the therapist to remove a substantial amount of tooth structure and bone around adjacent roots. The procedure that is demonstrated in this lecture will feature a technique in which you can preserve the coronal bone, and determine whether the crown lengthening procedure is feasible, or will it endanger the adjacent root structures, or will it create a set of defects prior to removing any adjacent bone.
Gingiva Colored Ceramics in Esthetic Dentistry
LOD-125-00
Dr. Harel Simon
Healthy appearance of the supporting tissue and its architecture are key components for achieving an esthetic dental restoration. It is therefore essential that the gingival tissue surrounding a restoration would be similar to that of the healthy adjacent teeth to create the illusion of natural dentition. Since the majority of patients tend to display a portion of their gingivae in a normal smile, lack of adequate gingival architecture and proper edentulous ridge contour in the horizontal and vertical dimensions may result in compromised esthetics and will, therefore, require further intervention.<br>The use of gingiva-colored ceramics has been suggested to address the esthetic needs in such patients. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the importance of proper gingival architecture and demonstrate the use of gingiva-colored ceramics in esthetic implant dentistry.

The knowledge about natural oral esthetics and the interactive relationship between patient-clinician-technician constitute the basic strategies for successful esthetic rehabilitations. No matter how powerful technology becomes in today

This lecture focuses on materials, and combination cases: how to deal with a veneer and a crown, whether the crown is on a natural tooth or an implant. But first, an introduction on digital dental photography: what camera to use for what situation, and tips and tricks for optimal results.

Minimally Invasive Soft Tissue Augmentation
LOD-067-00
Dr. Homa H. Zadeh
A variety of techniques have been described for augmentation of soft tissue around teeth with varying donor material and access. Recently, tunnel technique has been used for minimally invasive assess to sites being augmented. This presentation will describe a novel access for soft tissue augmentation and root coverage. Moreover, application of autogenous tissue, as well as growth factors will be discussed. Minimally invasive soft tissue augmentation may also be applied for modification of thin biotypes around dental implants. The techniques described will be illustrated with clinical cases.
