Tuesday Session

 

Moderator: Robert S. Schoor 

Program Track: Periodontal Plastic/Oral Reconstructive Surgery 

Periodontal plastic surgery can resolve several aesthetic problems and demands. Soft and hard tissue deficiencies can be corrected by the proper surgical technique, combined with the use of the appropriate biomaterial in each clinical case. This presentation will highlight 
the importance of the surgical technique and the multidisciplinary approach. 

Educational Objectives: 
• Review the indication and factors for plastic surgery success. 
• Discuss and demonstrate different surgical techniques to coronally advance the flaps, and define their role in regeneration and plastic surgery today. 
• Define the role of today’s bio-materials in regeneration and plastic surgery.
