"Predictable Periodontal 
Surgical Solutions to 
Esthetic Challenges"

Speaker
Jonathan Szymanowski, DDS 

There are many soft tissue and or 
hard tissue problems that can make 
restoration more difficult than just simply 
the crown alone. The objective of the 
presentation is to introduce the 
attendee to predictable periodontal surgical 
procedures that can correct those challenges. 

The patient can present with too much gingival 
tissue giving the patient excess gingival display 
or too little in the form of recession leading to 
a very long clinical crown. An anterior bridge 
restoring an area with a significant alveolar 
ridge defect will also create a long clinical 
crown that may also be complicated with 
black triangles. With a patient presenting with 
a hopeless anterior tooth, how do we decide 
between an immediate implant or a fixed bridge?

These and other clinical scenarios will be 
presented with in depth treatment planning 
discussions that will give the attendee a 
good knowledge of the periodontal surgical 
procedures available to help achieve a 
predictable esthetic result for their patients. 

Jonathan Szymanowski, D.M.D., M.M.Sc. 
received his doctoral and post-doctoral 
degrees from the Harvard School of Dental 
Medicine and is a Diplomate of the American 

Board of Periodontology. He is currently 
chairman of the CE committee and serves on 
several different committees at the Sacramento 
District Dental Society. Also, he was a board 
member of the Sacramento Zoo. He has 
presented several presentations on periodontics 
throughout the United States, including CDA 
Presents. Dr. Szymanowski maintains a private 
practice with his father which is limited to 
periodontics in Sacramento. He is also a clinical 
instructor at the McClellan VA in Sacramento.
