Interdisciplinary cases involving periodontics and restorative dentistry are fairly common nowadays and they usually involve implants or procedures like grafts and crown lengthening. Esthetically demanding patients only add another layer to the complexity of these cases. This treatment planning session will illustrate some of these cases, complications and practical solutions to common problems.
Upon completion of this course, attendees should be able to:
Emphasize the importance of communication between the periodontist and restorative dentist
Present clinical examples where treatment planning led to complications
Demonstrate how to avoid common mistakes when dealing with Perio-Restorative cases
