Lecture description:

Prof. Giovanni Zucchelli's focus in this first video lecture will be to analyse what really matters to the patient when undergoing treatment in the esthetic area.


Participants will thus discover how the shape and color of the crown, the morphology of the soft tissues, the alignment of the gingival margins and the possible presence of inter-incisional black spaces are the aspects that the patient takes into consideration the most when evaluating the goodness and effectiveness of the treatment.


Prof. Zucchelli will identify the area of the gingival margins that develops apically for a maximum of 4 mm as the aesthetic zone of interest for the patient to work on, also clarifying the different treatment workflows between teeth and implants.


Finally, the goal of the treatment will be to carefully increase the thickness of the soft tissues around the root of the treated tooth in such a way as to provide support for the gingival margins, while also paying attention to the camouflage of the treatment by masking as much as possible the inevitable difference in thickness with respect to the soft tissues adjacent to the treated area.


Topics covered in this lecture:

  • The rationale for treatment in the aesthetic area: the social six
  • Patient mentality and the relevance of masking the treatment
  • Soft tissue morphology: papilla, gingival margin and buccal parabola
  • The importance for the patient of having the gingival margins of the two central incisors aligned
  • The supra-osseous component of the root and the connective attachment with the enamel-cement junction
  • At which distance from the gingival margin should the osseo-integrated part of the implant be placed?
