Let’s give our teeth (and implants) some stylish flair! In this lecture, we will dive into what our teeth and implants need to perform their important roles like speaking, chewing, and keeping our mouths look amazing. We’ll explore some exciting options, like autogenous materials, biologics, and matrices, to help us achieve great results in mucogingival and periodontal plastic surgeries for both teeth and implants. Plus, we’ll chat about the best tools to use, effective suturing techniques, and how to design flaps for success. Join us for a fun and informative discussion.

Learning outcomes

Be able to identify what teeth and implants need for functionality and aesthetics, and what materials are available to achieve the best results in mucogingival and periodontal plastic surgeries as well as the best tools, techniques, and designs for these surgeries.
