Implants and Aesthetic Papilla Management

This two-part lecture bridges key periodontic strategies such as soft tissue grafting, different extraction and grafting techniques; with prosthodontic techniques like provisional conditioning, smile design and white-pink manipulation. Clinicians will gain insight into interdisciplinary protocols for restoring natural peri-implant soft tissue aesthetics.
