SPEAKER: Dr Andrew Liaw
TOPIC: Essentials in recreating pink aesthetics and function around teeth and implants: key strategies and techniques

VENUE: Grand Millennium Auckland, Coromandel Room, 71 Mayoral Drive, Cnr Vincent Street, Auckland 1010

Synopsis:
This lecture aims to discuss the biology of gingival recession around teeth, which builds a decision framework for predictable intervention. These concepts will be expanded into the context of dental implantology to optimise pink aesthetics in the anterior zone.

1. Understanding the aetiological risk factors predisposing to gingival recession

2. Pre-intervention recognition of anatomical features that influence root coverage predictability

3. Application of soft tissue techniques for implants in the anterior aesthetic zone
