Course Overview
Participants have the fantastic opportunity to learn from a world renowned master clinician of outstanding expertise and experience. This course will outline the contemporary surgical and prosthetic concepts in management of teeth and implants with a view to achieving optimum long-term aesthetics, durability and stability. The emphasis will be on the clinical management and an understanding and application of the biological factors that influence our treatment outcomes. Management of bone, soft tissue and prosthetics contours and materials all play a key part in the aesthetic outcome and long-term stability of soft tissue aesthetics.
