RESOURCES as an example as how to plan and present their cases in a logical manner.
The aim of module 1 & 2 is to “slow” the clinician in their assessment of patients, collecting the
essential diagnostic information, and implementing normative care to meet patients functional
and aesthetic requirements. This is a systematic approach to optimal treatment planning and
delivery, as well as obtaining consent from the patient that meets patient’s needs.

UNIT AIM The role of plastic periodontal surgery and its application to aesthetic dentistry, is simplified to
allow the clinician to master this important concept.
Aesthetic dentistry can only be achieved if dentists understand the form, texture, and colour
of natural teeth and how the teeth relate to other facial structures and then translate this
information into the fabrication of restorations.
But most importantly it is the emergence position and profile from the gingival architecture
that will set the stage, especially in high gumline smiles.

UNIT AIM This is an art and science in clinical diagnostics & the decision-making process. It is not simply
about fillers and anti-wrinkle treatment.
It is about providing and maintaining the scaffold for the lower facial volume.
We all age, however at different rates; and there is a large difference in men and women
in how the face changes. As a dentist you will learn how to assess and treat in terms of
what clinical dentistry can offer. Therefore, if required, when would one consider the facial
augmentation procedures that can enhance that “aesthetic effect”.
3-D patterns and timing of facial skeletal ageing changes is becoming new science in dentistry.
The timing of when intervention using orthopaedics and orthodontics, additive restorative
approaches, may allow us not only to treat but also to reduce the rate of these facial skeletal
changes, opening a whole new paradigm in dental facial rejuvenation.
