Perioesthetics represents the harmonious integration of periodontal health with dental and facial aesthetics, playing a pivotal role in contemporary smile design. This lecture highlights the biological principles and clinical strategies involved in achieving optimal gingival form, contour, color, and symmetry around natural teeth and implants. Emphasis is placed on diagnosis, treatment planning, and interdisciplinary collaboration to manage soft tissue discrepancies, gingival recession, altered passive eruption, and peri-implant soft tissue challenges. Through clinical insights and evidence-based approaches, the lecture aims to enhance understanding of how periodontal therapy contributes to predictable, long-lasting esthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction.
