Pink Esthetics in Periodontics : Creating the Perfect Smile Beyond White Teeth

A beautiful smile is not defined by white teeth alone. The health, contour, symmetry, and harmony of the gingival tissues play an equally important role in creating an aesthetically pleasing smile. Pink esthetics has therefore become an essential component of modern periodontal and interdisciplinary aesthetic dentistry.

In this clinically focused webinar, Dr. Swarna Meenakshi P will explore the principles of pink esthetics in periodontics and, through effective periodontal soft-tissue management, demonstrate how clinicians can transform the overall appearance and balance of a smile.

This session on IIDR will cover the assessment of gingival contours, gingival margins, gingival display, tissue thickness, symmetry, and periodontal proportions, along with clinical approaches to common aesthetic concerns. Subsequently, participants will gain insights into periodontal plastic and minimally invasive procedures that can be incorporated into comprehensive smile rehabilitation.
