Dr Michael Frazis, joined by Dr Elizabeth Milford, will examine contact point anatomy, emergence profile design, and how subtle contour errors influence food impaction, plaque retention, and periodontal health. Together, they will discuss when to replicate natural anatomy and when to intentionally modify it in cases of periodontal breakdown, while identifying predictable plaque stagnation zones and how thoughtful restorative design, supported by effective oral health care products from Oral B, can improve long-term patient outcomes.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to: • Analyse contact point position and morphology in relation to periodontal stability • Design emergence profiles that facilitate effective plaque control • Justify when to replicate natural tooth anatomy and when to intentionally modify it for improved cleansability • Identify high-risk plaque stagnation zones around restorations and implement corrective design strategies
