Periodontal and Periimplantitis Tissue Regeneration: State of the Art 2018
Soft and hard tissue regeneration has always been an ideal – yet elusive – goal when treating periodontal and peri-implant disease. This course will provide a 12-step program to achieve laser-assisted periodontal tissue regeneration. This technique is also applicable to peri-implantitis treatment. Though lasers have been used in dentistry for over 25 years, and many laser companies have made numerous claims about tissue regeneration, these techniques will be shown to work via case reviews and supported by a critical review of the peer-reviewed literature.
Learning objectives:
- Learn a technique for regenerating cementum, bone and fibroblast mediated soft tissue during periodontal surgery.
- Learn a technique for regenerating bone and fibroblast mediated soft tissue when treating peri-implantitis.
- Discuss all peer-reviewed literature that validates both above techniques.
