Lecture title
“A Consideration on Managing Soft Tissue for Achieving Ideal Free Gingival Margin”
Summary
Keywords: fluorescence, contour
It is widely known that Mr. Willi Geller has focused on the florescence of natural teeth for more than thirty years, and he developed Creation porcelain system that has the fluorescence resembling to that of natural dentition. Through participating Mr. Geller’s hands-on courses, one can recognize that his layering technique is emphasized on “how to deliver the light to the tissue for bright and healthy appearance.”
Moreover, one can sense that he does not only fabricate restorations that look real, but also he strives to improve the appearance of tissue with his restorations. In other words, it is not too much to say that “fabricating restorations with Creation porcelain means considering even to the appearance of tissue.”
In this lecture, based on the philosophy described above, I will present the clinical cases where soft tissue was managed by the crown contour, intended to achieve free gingival margin that looks natural.
