Description

Over the past two decades, periodontology and implantology have advanced dramatically, with numerous surgical approaches refined and validated through randomized trials. Perio Esthetics traces the evolution of modern periodontal and peri-implant plastic-reconstructive surgery and brings it together in a single, richly documented reference. The book guides the reader through treatment of single and multiple gingival recessions, gummy smile correction, prosthetic cases in the esthetic zone, regenerative periodontal surgery, and gingival augmentation around teeth, as well as soft tissue harvesting techniques. On the peri-implant side, it analyses implant placement in the esthetic zone, hard tissue reconstruction including horizontal and vertical guided bone regeneration, and a range of peri-implant soft tissue procedures. With more than 2,000 surgical images and 34 videos filmed under the operating microscope, it offers an exceptionally detailed visual account of the esthetic-reconstructive surgery now central to high-quality treatment and patient satisfaction.
