GS3: Advances and Innovations in Oral Plastic Surgery 2–4 p.m.
Program Track: Periodontal Plastic/Oral Reconstructive Surgery Moderator: E. Todd Scheyer
Speakers: Edward P. Allen, Markus B. Hürzeler, and Homa H. Zadeh
The most popular discussion regarding mucogingival procedures revolve around minimally invasive techniques and alternative tissue sources as substitutes for palatal autografts. This presentation will focus on the state-of-the-art in minimally invasive techniques and provide an evidence basis for using autogenous and non-autogenous graft materials. The practical application of these techniques will be shown around teeth and implants. The presenters will use clinical documentation including video to demonstrate technique and long-term results. An emphasis will be placed on treating mucogingival defects with a favorable esthetic outcome.
Educational Objectives:
• Explain the difference of the execution of the tunneling technique around teeth.
• Recognize the difference features of autogenous connective tissue grafts harvested from different sites in the mouth.
• Improve your understanding of minimally invasive mucogingival surgery and alternatives materials selection.

GS4: The Use of Laser Therapy to Treat Inflammatory Diseases of the Periodontium for Teeth and Implants
8–10 a.m. Program Track: Imaging and Emerging Technologies Moderator: Myron Nevins
Speakers: Donald S. Clem, III, Allen S. Honigman, and Samuel B. Low
Contemporary treatment regimens have provided significant success with periodontal regeneration and osseointegration, but both are challenged by patient susceptibility to inflammation. Periodontitis and peri-implantitis demand attention at their early stages, but too frequently encounter delays that progress from gingivitis to the loss of alveolar bone. Laser treatment regimens have demonstrated a valuable role when addressing the need for control or correction of the periodontal hard and soft tissues. This panel will present their clinical experiences to resolve inflammatory diseases. They will review current knowledge and address when and how to improve the dental health of patients and compare the laser predictability to traditional therapies.
Educational Objectives:
• Explain the evidence for specific lasers to treat peri-implantitis.
• List the capabilities of lasers to decontaminate the implant surface and identify when to use a laser approach when treating periodontal disease.
• Recognize the limitations and decisions relative to treatment of peri-implantitis.
• Review the most promising regenerative therapies to solve this problem.
