This program discusses the diagnoses and management of Altered
Passive and Active eruption cases via Periodontal crown-lengthening
Surgery. frequently, a "gummy smile" contributes to many aesthetic problems for patients. This excessive display of gingival tissues is
caused by factors such as vertical maxillary growth, dentoalveolar
extrusion, a short upper lip, upper lip hyperactivity, Altered Passive
eruption (APe) and Altered Active eruption (AAe). APe is a genetic
or developmental condition characterized by the coronal positioning of the gingival attachment and soft tissue margins on the enamel
surface. This results in the appearance of short clinical crowns. AAe
occurs when teeth erupt into contact with the opposing occlusal
plane prematurely. The result of this premature contact is that
coronal tooth movement is stopped, thereby preventing the osseous
crests from receding apically to their physiologic location on the
root surface. Since the bone crests do not move apically, the gingival
attachment and soft tissue margins are forced coronally giving the
appearance of short teeth..

Today's periodontal treatment requires a thorough understanding of
periodontal and implant surgical alternatives, regenerative materials,
anatomical factors and proper coordination between disciplines. Soft
and hard tissue regeneration with osseous grafts, membranes, and
regenerative gels have resulted in improved predictable regenerative
outcomes. Sinus and alveolar grafting have replaced long span tooth
borne bridges/extensive tooth preparation/retention of questionable
dentition with implant fixed prosthetic alternatives. These innovations demand coordinated treatment plans between the restoring and surgical practitioner. This program reviews these different
factors.

The speaker presents an overview of the etiology, diagnosis, and
treatment of gingival recession. The discussion focuses on gingival,
connective tissue and dermal allografts with an emphasis on esthetic
periodontal plastic surgery for root coverage in single and multiple
recession sites. The classification of recession defects is reviewed as
well as anatomic factors affecting the result. Different techniques are
presented including coronally advanced flaps and the tunnel procedure. interdisciplinary management of cervical lesions are presented
as well.

experience gained in the treatment of complex congenital and
acquired facial deformity has provided a unique platform for advancing the field of facial reconstruction. fundamental principles of
aesthetic, craniofacial, and microsurgery have also blended together
to improve the quality of life for our patients. Additionally, innovative
technologies including the combination of computer-assisted planning and intraoperative navigation have provided innovative solutions to previously unpredictable problems. The advance of medicine
and dentistry has allowed facial transplantation to become a clinical
reality; however, immunotherapy remains one of the leading obstacles to its widespread acceptance. The creation of a comprehensive
and multi-disciplinary team provides the avenue for the restoration
of human appearance and function for individuals with devastating
composite facial disfigurement.

orthodontic treatment of congenital and acquired craniofacial deformities is extremely complex, requiring close coordination by the
members of an interdisciplinary cleft and craniofacial team to ensure
optimal treatment outcomes. The orthodontist plays an essential role
in integrating orthodontic treatment with surgical and other intervention. The orthodontist may be directly involved in the patient's
care from infancy through skeletal maturity. This program focuses
on the sequencing and timing of orthodontic and surgical treatment
for patients with craniofacial anomalies including cleft lip and palate,
craniofacial macrosomia, syndromic craniosynostosis, cleidocranial
dysostosis, Pierre Robin sequence, dentofacial deformities and other
congenital and acquired craniofacial anomalies. long-term treatment
results and growth outcomes are presented and discussed.

The maxillomandibular reconstructive treatment positions have been
controversial for decades. Since the 1950s, the definitions of the
centric relation position were revised. The centric relation treatment
position is preferred maxillomandibular relationship because it allows
for repeatable verification of the established reconstructive position.
However, in the management of some maxillofacial reconstruction
and class two malocclusion reconstructions posed challenges due
to its 'relatively wide or severely limited' range of mandibular movements.
