Contemporary patient expectations have made esthetics a major requisite of all treatment plans, especially in situations where there is a high smile line. Although new restorative materials have highly improved predictability and esthetic outcomes, soft and hard tissue management play a fundamental role when working in esthetic areas. To achieve ideal esthetics, preservation of the natural soft and hard tissue architecture is a primary clinical objective. These new proposed techniques illustrate the importance of pre-prosthetic soft and hard tissue management when working in highly esthetic compromised areas.

Section 1: Hard Tissue Augmentation

• Topics within this section
• Predictable Vertical and Horizontal Alveolar Ridge Augmentation Using
• Resorbable and Non-resorbable Membranes and 100% Allograft

Section 2: Soft Tissue Augmentation

• Topics within this section
• Soft Tissue augmentation and Closure of Grafted Extraction Sockets in the Anterior Maxilla: Novel techniques

Section 3: 3D printing technology in today’s soft and hard tissue regeneration

• Topics within this section
• Three-dimensional printing of the bony and dental anatomy allows for visualization and tactile examination, without the presence of the patient, and proves to be a significant advantage that ameliorates clinical challenges.

Section 4: Resorbable membranes in GBR – How far can we push it today?

• Topics within this section
• Vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation in both posterior and anterior jaws have represented a significant challenge for the operator. The use of resorbable membranes housing 100% allograft upon a deficient alveolar ridge is proving to be a valid and predictable technique providing the biological parameters sufficient for pre-implant periodontal, hard and soft tissue, support for a functional prosthesis.
