Course Description:

Welcome to the comprehensive course on “The Periodontal-Restorative Interface” led by Dr. Bob Winter. In this series, Dr. Winter shares his expertise and experience in restoring restorative cases with gingival recession. This course is designed to help clinicians make informed decisions about when to restore, when to graft, and when a combination of both may be most beneficial for the patient.

Dr. Winter begins by discussing the clinical evaluation process and what to look for when assessing cases with gingival recession. Understanding the underlying factors and etiology is crucial for developing effective treatment plans. You will learn about predisposing factors that contribute to gingival recession and gain insights into the importance of considering these factors during treatment planning.

The course dives into the different treatment options available for addressing cases with gingival recession. Dr. Winter provides a comprehensive overview of when to choose restorative approaches, such as direct or indirect restorations, and when grafting procedures, such as soft tissue grafts or guided tissue regeneration, may be necessary. You will learn about the indications and contraindications for each approach, enabling you to make well-informed decisions for your patients.

Throughout the course, Dr. Winter emphasizes the importance of treatment planning considerations. You will gain valuable insights into how to analyze the patient’s specific case, evaluate the severity of recession, and assess the overall esthetic and functional goals. By considering these factors, you will be able to develop comprehensive treatment plans that address both the restorative and periodontal aspects of the case.

The course includes practical demonstrations by Dr. Winter, showcasing the restoration of several of his own cases with gingival recession. You will have the opportunity to follow along as he discusses his treatment decisions, techniques, and considerations for achieving optimal outcomes. These real-life case examples provide valuable insights and practical guidance for your own clinical practice.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of the periodontal-restorative interface and how to approach cases with gingival recession. You will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about when to restore, when to graft, and when a combination of both approaches may be most beneficial for your patients. Join Dr. Bob Winter on this educational journey and enhance your ability to provide comprehensive and effective treatment for cases involving the periodontal-restorative interface.
