Symposium on Cosmetic Root Coverage


Synopsis

As an integral part of the team involved in the management of natural teeth as a part of the management of the dentoalveolar complex, oral and maxillofacial surgeons must be skilled in the evaluation and treatment of soft tissue deformities around teeth. This symposium will focus on how to meaningfully assess the soft tissue health and support around natural teeth and review current surgical techniques to correct deformities that threaten both appearance and function.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this symposium, participants will be able to:

  1. Explain how to evaluate the soft tissue form and support around natural teeth;
  2. Discuss the principles of surgical procedures available to manage root exposure; and
  3. Explain the principles of surgical procedures available to improve mucogingival deficiencies.
