A Masterclass in Digital and Biological Treatment Planning: Esthetics, Perio-Prosthetics and Implants (New York, 4-5 March 2027)

This two-day immersive masterclass led by Dr. Dennis P. Tarnow and Dr. Stephen J. Chu provides dental professionals with comprehensive training in advanced treatment planning for complex esthetic, periodontal, and implant cases. The course integrates digital workflow technologies with biological site preservation principles, emphasizing diagnosis-driven decision-making as the foundation for predictable clinical outcomes.

Day one focuses on digital esthetic planning and biologic decision-making. Participants learn systematic approaches to diagnosis and digital planning, including smile design optimization using digital tools and mock-ups to enhance communication between clinician, laboratory, and patient. The curriculum addresses multiple missing teeth in the esthetic zone, comparing evidence-based strategies for tooth retention versus implant replacement. Instructors cover treatment sequencing, provisionalization strategies for maintaining patient comfort, and biologic site development procedures. The afternoon session explores esthetic analysis using biometric principles, ideal tooth proportions, and clinical applications of esthetic gauges. Case-specific topics include gap management, ridge reduction implications for full-arch therapy, and the central-lateral dilemma in single-tooth implant solutions.

Day two advances to complex full-arch treatment planning and prosthetic considerations. The morning emphasizes hands-on digital workflow integration, pink esthetics decision-making, and medical risk assessment's influence on clinical planning. Participants learn occlusal principles for implant dentistry, tooth-implant connection techniques, and selection criteria for fixed versus removable solutions. The afternoon addresses peri-implantitis prevention and management, systematic esthetic problem-solving for existing complications, and full-arch rehabilitation protocols. The course concludes with comprehensive clinical case reviews applying advanced principles to challenging presentations.
