How much PDL do we need..?

The lecture will give examples of treatment planning and options using the PDL to influence alveolar bone and soft tissue for the benefit of the patients

Aims, Objectives and Learning Outcomes:

Aims : To provide an overview of what we can do if we plan well together from the start

Objectives : The lecture will show you some examples of what is possible to do in difficult interdisciplinary treatments if you can handle the PDL correctly.

Learning outcomes : This presentation will hopefully give you some input for handling your future interdisciplinary treatments.
