This course provides a maximum ”hands-on” experience covering the various principles and clinical procedures needed for crown lengthening. We cover indications, contraindications, and methods of managing surrounding bone.
Topics include: how to handle hard and soft tissues; proper surgical techniques; preservation of esthetics in the final tissue contours; and relocation of all structures that comprise the biologic width, namely: sulcus, junctional epithelium, connective tissue fibers, and bone.
The ”hands-on” experiences include flap surgery with pig jaws, plus bone surgery on anatomically correct plaster models. It is coupled with a detailed slide presentation, as well as two video demonstrations of surgical technique.
