Periodontal Surgery for the GP: Mod. 2
Optimizing Esthetic Results
Friday/Saturday TBA, 2018
Esthetic restorative results are often compromised by less than optimal periodontal morphology or gingival recession.
The ability to identify and correct esthetic problems by the treating dentist allows for greater control of results and the
advantage of coordinating restorative and periodontal procedures in the most efficient way possible. Thus the restor-
ative dentist can provide optimal results, patient convenience with an improved bottom line.
