Course III

Instructor: John C. Kois, DMD, MSD

Restorative/Periodontal Interface

Understanding the dental gingival complex is critical for predictable management of the soft tissue. Discover why some anterior crown margins become exposed while others stay stable for years. Clinical systems will be described which include: determining the cervical limitations for tooth preparation, ridge management, minimizing surgical defects following tooth extraction, surgical alteration exposing sound tooth structure, managing violations of biologic width, and esthetically managing gingival levels.

Course Objectives

  • Understand anatomic considerations critical to manage the dentogingival complex
  • Understand cervical limitations of functional tooth preparation
  • Enhancing pontic site development – surgical and restorative guidelines
  • Determine acceptable compromises
  • Understand surgical and orthodontic concerns
  • Learn to coordinate therapy as it relates to the restorative periodontal interface

This course provides 27 continuing education credit hours and includes lecture, demonstration, case presentation and discussion.
