Product not yet rated

CE Hours: 1.0

Description: Endodontic surgery has seen remarkable improvements in clinical and radiographic outcomes thanks to the development of advanced microsurgical techniques and instruments. However, while these procedures effectively address apical lesions, they can sometimes lead to unintended soft tissue issues such as recession, papilla loss, and scarring. As aesthetics become increasingly important in patient care, achieving optimal hard tissue results is no longer enough; successful soft tissue management is equally critical to ensure a satisfying outcome.
In this presentation, Dr. Wohlgemuth, will guide you through pre-operative assessment and critical steps of endodontic surgery with a focus on enhancing aesthetic outcomes. The lecture will cover incision design, flap management, and the selection of suture size, type, and technique. Through a series of clinical cases, Dr. Wohlgemuth will illustrate how mastering these techniques can significantly improve the aesthetic results of your endodontic surgeries.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Describe the parameters related to the aesthetic outcome
  • Describe different flap designs and suture techniques to achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes
  • Explain the role of pre-surgical planning on the outcome of endodontic surgery
