Regenerative therapy around teeth- what are the limits?
In the last years the aesthetic demand from the patients has become the biggest challenge in Periodontology as well as in implant dentistry. Besides functional results is now important to achieve aesthetic success, particularly in the anterior areas, where the expectations of the patients are even higher.
The introduction of new biological concepts, biomaterials and new surgical techniques during the last years, such as Growth Factors, new Scaffolds, different minimally invasive approach and Papilla Preservation, makes possible to answer to the patient’s demands and change the prognosis of severely compromised teeth with predictable long-term results, moving forward the limits.
The Sequence of treatment, when other dental field are involved, such as Orthodontics, Prosthodontics, is a key factor to success.
A decision making of different clinical situation, based on the evidence will be analyzed during the presentation and the procedures will be shown in details.
Nightmares in Regenerative Surgery
In the last 25 years, periodontal regeneration have seen the development of different biomaterials and surgical techniques with the aim to make predictable the outcomes of regenerative therapy and to reduce as much as possible surgical complications including material exposure, tissue necrosis and loss of interdental tissue. These complications occur during healing phases and leads to an obvious compromised biologic, functional and aesthetic result. This presentation will show some clinical complication in periodontal regeneration, giving the possibility to the audience to discuss the reason of the failures, and elaborating the possible solutions.
