Synopsis:
An attractive smile has always been the patient's motivation for improving esthetic appearance and thus self-esteem. Clinicians can encounter several challenging scenarios in the esthetic zone such as missing teeth, uneven gingival margins and excessive gingival display. Each of these cases requires proper diagnosis and treatment planning to achieve long-term esthetic outcomes. To determine the proper treatment, both esthetic and periodontal evaluation are crucial during the treatment plan phases. Surgical crown lengthening, including soft and hard tissue management, is necessary. It can be used to decrease gingival display in cases of altered passive eruption, to enhance the clinical crown proportion or to establish biological width to maintain gingival health.
Poor esthetic outcomes such as tissue regrowth or esthetic complications such as recession can occur with inaccurate treatment planning and inappropriate surgical techniques. Dental implants are indeed one of the treatment options for a single missing anterior tooth, which has been proven to have long-term success and survival rate. However, for a high smile patient, it is more important to obtain soft tissue harmony rather than just white esthetics. The ultimate goal of implant treatment is to achieve peri-implant soft tissue esthetics and long-term stability. This lecture will discuss the biologic rationale for different treatment options and factors and risks contributing to poor esthetic outcome, as well as propose clinical guidelines for the predictable achievement of stable gingival margins. It will also review clinically relevant literature and multiple case presentations to demonstrate from treatment planning to treatment execution.
Upon successful completion of this course, attendees will learn:
- Factors and risks that affect the esthetic outcome
- Esthetic and periodontal evaluation during the diagnosis and treatment plan phases
- Treatment options for the anterior esthetic zone, including esthetic crown lengthening and implants
- Clinical guidelines of surgical treatment
- Management of esthetic complications
