Soft tissue management during orthodontic treatment: an ortho-perio approach
Soft tissue management during orthodontic treatment: an ortho-perio approach
Course overview
Comprehensive training for periodontists and orthodontists on effective soft tissue management throughout the entire orthodontic treatment process, from diagnosis to post-brace support.
On the course you will learn:
methods for diagnosing and assessing the risks of periodontal pathology before the start of orthodontic treatment
soft tissue management protocols in the area of impacted teeth
techniques for creating sufficient volume of soft tissue in the area of missing lateral incisors
root coverage techniques before, during and after orthodontic treatment.
Training will allow you to achieve outstanding aesthetic results, providing patients with not only beautiful smiles, but also healthy periodontal tissue throughout their lives.
