Prosthesis and Tissues

Relation between the prosthetic margin and the periodontium

In this opening lecture, the author describes the importance of supra-gingival and equi-gingival prosthetic margin preparation. The description of this choice stems from a thorough analysis of the relations between the prosthetic margin and periodontal/peri-implant tissues, with the aim of identifying the optimal esthetic and functional biomimicry approach.

Intra-sulcular horizontal margin design and the periodontium

In this second lecture, the author addresses those clinical features - functional as well as eshetic - that require sub-gingival margin preparation. Sub-gingival fractures and caries, root discoloration or the need to re-design gingival margins are just a fw of the clinical features that impose such a choice, whose explanation passes through a deep analysis of the periodontal and peri-implant structures and tissue reactions, completed by the descrition of clinical cases.

Intra-sulcular horizontal margin design and gingival scalloping

This lecture outlines gingival scalloping prosthetic and surgical strategies. The first part focuses on the combination of deeper margin positioning and restorative emergence profile as a means to correct gingival scalloping. In the second part, surgical and prosthetic-surgical approaches are outlined in case of vertical prepping to promote coronal advancing.

Sub-gingival vertical margin design and the periodontium

This lecture outlines the relationship between vertical preparation and periodontium, with specific focus on the potential of this technique in terms of enhancement of periodontal soft tissue stability. The lecture starts by addressing "case by case" these soft tissue improvement possibilities, while highlighting the risks that vertical prepping involves, and moves on by describing the clinical application of vertical preparation procedures.

Soft tissue management at impressions

This lecture shows how to effectively manage soft tissues while taking impression, with the aim of successfully transferring the finishing line features and position as well as subgingival emergence profile of the element to be restored. A comparison between single /with and without cord removal) and double cord techniques completes the video.

The emergence profile on implants

In this lecture the author describes how to successfully manage the implant-supported prosthetic emergence profile, both in the case of single crown as well as in multiple element restorations. The aim of this video is to highlight the procedures and the details that guarantee soft tissue stability and treatment predictability.

Transferring customized tissue informations to the dental technician

This lecture outlines conventional impression protocols, in terms of timing, data transfer, materials, master cast management. Special focus is observed for implant-supported restoration cases, with a comparison between different approaches aimed at ensuring the best peri-prosthesis and peri-implant soft tissue data transfer.

Comparison of horizontal and vertical methods of tooth preparation: indications, clinical procedures & outcomes

What are the indications that guide che choice of the prosthodontist between vertical and horizontal margin preparations? In this video Dr. Gianluca Paniz presents a complete and schematic examination of the clinical differences and advantages of the two procedures, based on long-term result expectations and the latest clinical research findings.

The objective of the video is to offer a deeper understanding of the principles behind tooth preparation choices, and provide the viewer of the fundamental instruments to take advantage of both preparation philosophies.
