Course Description
With the right foundation in place or corrected, this next session shifts focus to the management of exposed roots and implant components. We will take a comprehensive look at root and implant coverage from surgical, restorative, and interdisciplinary perspectives. Techniques using autografts, allografts, and xenografts will be explored alongside case selection and prosthetic considerations. The goal is not just coverage, but stability, with a clear understanding of how to manage complications and optimize outcomes across the dental team.
