Esthetics in a Diseased Periodontium - Tips & Tricks
LOD-263-00
Dr. Giorgio Tabanella
Periodontal tissue destruction related to periodontitis, trauma, biologic width violation, mucogingival deformities as well as iatrogenic dentistry may lead to multiple tooth loss. The rehabilitation of neighbouring teeth in aesthetically demanding areas when associated with advanced soft and hard tissue loss may represent a surgical and aesthetic clinical challenge.<br /><br />Preservation or creation of a soft tissue scaffold needed to create the illusion of a natural tooth is often difficult to achieve when the potential for tissue regeneration is reduced. Furthermore the placement of a dental implant in the aesthetic zone with neighbouring teeth with a damaged periodontium can be a real difficult task especially when there is no room for error: the diagnosis will lead clinicians to the correct way of treating patients.<br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 12/20/2014 | Expires: 12/20/2017</span>

LOD-262-00
Dr. Sanda Moldovan
In this presentation, Dr Sanda Moldovan will discuss nutrition as it applies to patient outcomes.<br /><br />After years of study and experience as both a periodontist and nutritionist, Dr Moldovan has seen the connection between nutrition and clinical results.<br /><br />We have a global epidemic of obesity Today. Over 30% of US adults are obese. What does that mean for us as practitioners? We know that these patients are not going to heal well. They are going to have a lot of inflamation, pain, and excessive swelling. This presentation will discuss how to deal with these patients.<br /><br />Dr. Moldovan will discuss what is important in bone healing and soft tissue healing, and what nutritional support options are available for maximizing these processes.<br /><br><br><span style="font-size:9px">Release: 1/24/2015 | Expires: 1/24/2018</span>
