Abstract:

What do I do when a patient has exposed root surfaces? When does a patient need a tissue graft? What material do I use to restore an abrasion lesion? When do I not restore an abrasion lesion? That is a question I get asked very often. There are published guidelines for this situation. During this presentation, I will show you the answers to these questions and give you some guidelines you can take home to your practice. We will discuss diagnosis of cervical lesions and mucogingival defects, the simple way to predict results of different grafting techniques and some restorative materials that have been shown to be biocompatible.
