Course Description: 50 million dental crowns are made in the US each year. Success is based on tooth preparation, the amount of clinical crown available, and if the biologic width is invaded. Naturally, more goes into fabricating a successful crown, but there are times when outcomes could be improved with judicious crown-lengthening.

Whether you just starting to perform crown-lengthening procedures or want to learn more about this important, vital step that affects crown outcomes, this course spells it out.
