OVERVIEW

Using Papillae-Sparing Incisions in the Esthetic Zone to Restore Form and Function is organized by Dental Learning Systems, LLC and will be held from May 01, 2014 - May 31, 2021.

The target audience for this medical event is for Dentists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 2.00 Self Study Credits.

Description:
Papillae-sparing incisions can be used to place an implant. This avoids inducing interdental tissue recession and facilitates gingival architecture restoration. Papillae-sparing incisions described in this article are characterized by bilaterally retaining segments of papillae adjacent to an edentate area when a pedicle flap is elevated. This is not a novel technique; however, the presented cases illustrate the use of papillae-sparing incisions to accomplish diverse tasks. Furthermore, discussion is provided with respect to the width of the retained papillae, length of the incisions, bone loss, healing time, and scar formation.

Learning Objectives:
• Discuss the techniques used with papillae-sparing incisions
• Describe biological aspects pertaining to papillae-sparing incisions
• List several procedures with which papillae-sparing incisions can be used and discuss potential complications

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
