Microscope-assisted periodontal therapy was introduced in the early ‘90s. The existing evidence supports the benefits and superiority of outcomes when utilizing the operating microscope (OM) for surgical periodontal therapy geared toward regenerative and root coverage procedures.
Periodontics has pioneered the repair and regeneration of gingival tissues with autogenous and alternative tissue grafts. Today the addition of tissue engineering techniques enables the clinician to improve the clinical outcome.
This interactive, live-surgery session will present an efficient technique for connective tissue grafting that consistently yields 95-98% root coverage in Miller class I and II recession defects in a real-world environment.
This presentation will provide several innovative approaches that apply varying techniques, materials, and modification of existing non-patented materials.
Soft tissue manipulation requires a unique set of knowledge, psycho-motor skills, and vision to help prevent adverse outcomes, achieve desired results, and correct complications when encountered.
This new IP format provides a platform to present a pivotal concept, perspective, or paradigm-shifting philosophy.
This session will present findings from the systematic reviews and expert opinion consensus reports and highlight areas where further research and understanding are needed.
