Many times, as dentists, we fix implants, do bone grafts or even soft tissue grafts, but in our final prosthesis, it did not reach the beautiful outcome we expected it to achieve. There's a natural beauty to a natural tooth, the colour, the size, the proportions and if we don't get that and for us and even for the patient's expectation that's not really the proposal of the treatment that we started out to deliver. So to fill that void, to fill this need for information we developed a three-day course based on three main points: planning, the prosthetic management and the plastic periodontal surgery. All these three main tripods are linked together, and this is formation we handle for us to conduct all the treatment plan of the patient and actually be confident how we perform and how to get the result you are intending at the beginning of the treatment. So how can we conduct these cases in the aesthetic zone to really come from what we intended to offer to what we are really ending providing to the patient? So we build a course in three bases on a tripod that is first the planning, second is soft tissue grafting and third prosthetic management. Further event information
