Michael David Wise

Friday 4th March: 16.45-17.30
Maximum aesthetics for tooth and implant supported restorations

This lecture will explore some factors which influence aesthetic outcome with regards to veneers, anterior crowns and implants. Obviously not every aspect of these areas can be covered in the time available but Michael will present factors which he has found clinically to be important and he will discuss the use of the various ceramic materials – their indications and contraindications. With regards to implants he will specifically address the problem of lip line and bone loss in the maxillary anterior region.
