Why Surgery Alone Won’t Cut It
February 11 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm EST
Description: Treating periodontal and implant patients presents unique challenges in restoring and maintaining health, function, and esthetics. As treatment evolves from single tooth replacement to full-arch rehabilitation, personalized homecare and maintenance regimens are critical to long-term success. This webinar explores the use of different materials and techniques in non-surgical and surgical therapy, while emphasizing guided biofilm therapy as a universally effective modality for preserving teeth and implant restorations. Special attention is given to cases with advanced periodontal breakdown, generalized recession, and implant needs.
