CONTEMPORARY PERIODONTAL AND PERI-IMPLANT PLASTIC THERAPY Lecture Synopsis: Soft tissue recession around teeth and Implants is an epidemic problem in the field of dentistry. Multiple challenges exist in proper treatment planning and execution, especially in the esthetic zone. Harvesting limitations of autogenous tissue from the palate represent a true challenge when treating patients with multiple recessions or gingival deformities around teeth and dental implants. A predictable and long-term peri-implant soft tissue augmentation outcome is primarily dependent on proper diagnosis, prognosis and treatment planning. Learning Objectives: • Understand the biological foundation of the advanced platelet-rich fibrin (APRF) used as a periodontal tissue promoter. • Discuss the fibrin soft tissue promotion (FSTP) for the purpose of root coverage. • Understand the need of soft tissue around dental implants to maintain a successful long-term outcome. • Discuss the interplay of mucosal-restorative abutment interplay. • Establish a decision-making tree on when and how to augment peri-implants.

PROGNOSIS FOR THE PERIODONTALLY COMPROMISED TOOTH Course Description: A Historical Perspective Along With Short and Long-Term Follow up of Cases. Establishing an accurate periodontal prognosis is paramount to case success. Prognosis is often thought of as being “static,” established once, and never to change. However, proper periodontal therapy can alter a tooth’s prognosis, if done in time. This course will show both short and long-term cases where prognosis has changed during therapy. Learning Objectives: • Identifying the clinical factors used in assigning prognosis. • Understanding the historical research that leads to the modern day concept of prognosis. • Defining the new concept of periodontal diseases and host susceptibility as factors used in determining prognosis.
