Description:
Learn evidence-based solutions for the types of soft-tissue challenges that you face on a daily basis, such as how to cover those exposed roots and predictably stop, or prevent, recession. In this course, methods will be illustrated to solve those problems and enhance your restorative results by using both free-gingival and connective-tissue grafts. Gain peace of mind knowing the gingiva stays in place at the margins of newly placed aesthetic crowns. The grafting of extraction sockets also presents an opportunity for improved restorative options and will be touched on as an augmentation option. This course also is appropriate for hygienists so they can better understand the potential for root coverage options. This is a two-part course (C38 and W19) that is best attended as a full-day experience for comprehensive learning. You must register and pay for both courses for the full-day experience. However, attendees may choose to take the lecture course only.
