Perio Esthetics and Restorative/Periodontal Interface

Perio Esthetics and Restorative/Periodontal Interface is organized by Minnesota Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (MACD) and will be held on Oct 24, 2025 at Edina Country Club, Edina, Minnesota, United States of America.

Description:
"Healthy, ideally located, and symmetrical gingival architecture enhances a beautiful smile. At a minimum, it is important to know where to place restorative margins to avoid exposed margins, open cervical embrasures, and inflamed gingival tissues. Then, the knowledge to optimize the symmetry and contours of free gingival margins takes any restorative result to the next level. The restorative dentist can consistently deliver highly aesthetic results with proper diagnosis, treatment planning, and some orthodontic and surgical training. Providing this standard of care allows the restorative dentist to improve diagnostic skills, maintain greater treatment control, and increase patient satisfaction.” This program will provide information that will be helpful for every dentist and dental technician in increasing treatment predictability and reducing stress.

Course Objectives:

• Learn the esthetic and morphologic factors that influence ideal gingival architecture.
• Understand the indications and contraindications for the various methods of altering gingival architecture.
• Learn the specifics for altering gingival architecture, including instrumentation and techniques.
• Learn to predict and manage extraction and edentulous sites to optimize tissue contours.
