Enhancing Restorative Results: Soft Tissue Grafting
Embarrassed by recession around a recently placed crown in the esthetic zone? Faced with exposed roots that are esthetically undesirable or sensitive?
Learn evidence-based solutions for the soft tissue challenges you face on a daily basis, such as how to cover those exposed roots and predictably stop recession. In this live webinar, methods are illustrated to solve those problems and enhance restorative results for clinicians. Gain peace of mind knowing the gingiva stays in place by the margins of newly placed esthetic crowns. Participants will experience an in-depth look at the concepts and practical applications for both Free Gingival and Connective Tissue Grafts.
• Gingival Grafts create zones of attached gingiva where neither root coverage nor esthetics are factors. They provide a predictable way to stop recession from progressing.
• Connective Tissue Grafts are useful for total root coverage in cases of severe recession, especially in the maxilla where esthetics are important.

This live webinar is for dentists who want to better understand how soft tissue grafting can help with enhancing esthetic restorative results. The course includes many case illustrations and discussion of different applications.

  • Soft Tissue Grafting – making soft tissues more maintainable and restorations more predictable
    1. To graft or not to graft
    2. Which soft tissue grafts are most predictable and which are not?
    3. Which graft is especially suited to cover exposed cuspid roots?
    4. Difference between Gingival Grafts and Free Gingival Grafts
    5. Role of grafts in obtaining predictable restorative results
    6. The “Gold Standard” for soft tissue augmentation
    7. Why we focus on FGG and CTG
    8. “To Graft or Not to Graft” decision tree:
      1. No recession present – do we graft?
      2. Recession is present – do we graft now?
      3. How does a restoration influence these decisions?
    9. Examples of FGG and CTG

Course Objectives

At the completion of this course the participants should be able to:

  1. Understand what types of soft tissue grafting will stop recession and which will cover exposed root surfaces
  2. Explore different types of soft tissue grafting and their relationship to recession and obtaining root coverage
  3. Understand how soft tissue grafting will enhance restorative results
