SUMMARY:CE / Dinner Meeting: Don’t Be Obtuse: Confidently Treat the Black
  Triangle 
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCourse Summary:\nDon’t Be Obtuse: Confidently Treat the B
 lack Triangle\n\n\n\n\nBlack interdental triangles are present in a wid
 e swath of our patient population - both as a post-orthodontic complicatio
 n and as an effect of long standing periodontal disease. Even though we se
 e them frequently\, they can be unpredictable to restore - unless you have
  the right armamentarium to do so. This course will cover options to treat
  black triangles: with the help of anatomic shaped mylar\, good tissue r
 etraction techniques and predictable results by diving into the reasons th
 e triangles popped up in the first place. By better understanding the et
 iology of black triangle spacing and your patient's perspective\, you
  will walk away with some ideas on how to present treatment options the ne
 xt time your patient asks about it.\n\nLearning Objectives:\n\n 	Understan
 d the common etiologic factors of unsightly spaces at the gingival level\n
  	Realize the treatment options\, and understand the benefits of additive 
 dentistry to close black triangle spaces\n 	Consider the pros and cons 
 of alternatives to restorative dentistry\n 	Review techniques for closing
  black triangles\, and not just in the esthetic zone\n\nSpeaker:\nDr. La
 uren Yasuda Rainey\, DDS\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Lauren Yasuda Rainey is a gr

  II techniques and is an advocate for using composite resin for crown alte
 rnatives wherever possible. She teaches dentists in the US and Canada\, bo
