Two Days That Expand Your Scope
Learn
The biologic principles, diagnostic criteria, and decision-making behind functional versus esthetic crown lengthening. Know when to do it, when not to, and what the restorative team needs from you.
Practice
Perform osseous crown lengthening on Human Cadaver Specimen — flap design, bone removal, biologic width management, and suturing — with real anatomy and direct faculty feedback.
Leave
Confident to perform crown lengthening in your own practice — stopping referrals for a procedure that is squarely within the scope of a well-trained general dentist.
No pig jaws. No models.
Real. Human. Bone.
Two Days, One New Procedure
Day 1 — Diagnosis & Decision-Making
Biologic width, tissue biotypes, and osseous architecture — the foundations that determine how and where you cut. We cover pre-surgical planning, restorative communication, esthetic risk assessment, and step-by-step functional versus esthetic case selection.
Day 2 — Cadaver Lab
Hands-on day on Human Cadaver Specimen. Intrasulcular incisions, flap elevation, osseous recontouring, margin placement verification, and suturing. You perform the entire procedure from start to finish — guided by faculty every step of the way.
