Today, compelling long-term evidence defines the minimum soft-tissue dimensions necessary around both natural teeth and dental implants to support lasting periodontal and peri-implant health. In this two-part program, Dr. Robert A. Levine will present a series of meticulously documented surgical cases, followed by an engaging hands-on session utilizing porcine jaw models to simulate clinical techniques. The course will explore precise indications, techniques and use of soft-tissue alternatives aimed at enhancing both clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
Identify and implement evidenced-based strategies for both soft- and hard-tissue augmentation in both esthetic and non-esthetic zones to promote and maintain long-term periodontal and peri-implant health.
Differentiate the clinical indications, handling characteristics and benefits of volume-stable collagen matrices and porcine-derived collagen matrices for soft-tissue phenotype modification around teeth and dental implants.
Evaluate the role of biologic modifiers in enhancing regenerative outcomes, with a focus on optimizing graft integration, reducing treatment time and improving both clinical efficiency and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
