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\n\n\nBlack interdental triangles are present in a
  wide swath of our patient population - both as a post-orthodontic complic
 ation and as an effect of long standing periodontal disease. Even though w
 e see them frequently\, they can be unpredictable to restore - unless you 
 have the right armamentarium to do so. This course will cover options to t
 reat black triangles: with the help of anatomic shaped mylar\, good tiss
 ue retraction techniques and predictable results by diving into the reason
 s the triangles popped up in the first place. By better understanding th
 e etiology of black triangle spacing and your patient's perspective\,
  you will walk away with some ideas on how to present treatment options th
 e next time your patient asks about it.\n\nLearning Objectives:\n\n 	Under
 stand the common etiologic factors of unsightly spaces at the gingival lev
 el\n 	Realize the treatment options\, and understand the benefits of addit
 ive dentistry to close black triangle spaces\n 	Consider the pros and c
 ons of alternatives to restorative dentistry\n 	Review techniques for clos
 ing black triangles\, and not just in the esthetic zone\n\nDownload Flye
