 Program 4 :  10 Steps to Smile Design: Lips, Teeth and Gingiva
 Maurice A. Salama, DMD, David A. Garber, DMD. Ronald E. Goldstein, DDS.
 
 
Until recently the concept of dental esthetics was necessarily limited to teeth alone. The pre-existing relationship between the teeth, gingival and the lip framework was by and large accepted, making no effort to create harmony for beauty. The course aims to emphasize on ten steps to develop total dento-facial harmony.
 
 
 
 

Therapeutic options available today have the potential to enable the restorative dentist to restore any tooth, and the surgeon to augment any ridge or develop successful Osseointegration for implant management. Deciding whether to save or extract an anterior tooth may carry significant liabilities and consequences. Evidence-based treatment outcomes provide guidelines, but will not determine which therapy is the best.

 
     
 

This presentation will discuss:

 
 
  • Creating a decision process for effective treatment in the esthetic zone.
  • Evidence-based treatment outcomes and their application in therapy.
  • Indications and contraindications for various therapeutic modalities.
  • Evaluation of ridge contours and possible treatment options.
  • Evaluation of interproximal tissue relative to esthetic outcomes.
  • Evaluation of the supporting architecture of the teeth to be restored.
 
 
 
 

At the conclusion of this course, the dentist should be able to:

 
 
  • Diagnose and evaluate potential risks associated wit therapy in the esthetic zone.
  • Make use of evidence-based therapies in treatment planning.
  • Evaluate existing ridge contours and interproximal tissue status for possible augmentation procedures.
  • Determine the optimal esthetic treatment plan for your patient.
