How Crown Lengthening & Soft Tissue Grafting Will Enhance Restorative Results
Course DescriptionCrown Lengthening
This course covers methods, limitations, and benefits of both esthetic and functional crown lengthening. You will leave with a better understanding of these principles to be able help patients enjoy better and more predictable results. These principles apply to both posterior and anterior teeth, and both will be covered. Participants will see how crown margin proximity to soft tissue can adversely impact their restorative results and result in tissues that are red and sore at times. Discussion points include making diagnostic decisions regarding crown lengthening from both radiographic and clinical perspectives. It includes a detailed discussion of Biologic Width and how that impacts restorative decisions. Soft Tissue Grafting This course will enhance your restorative results with basic “management” of the soft tissues. This is not another version of “Soft Tissue Management” from a scaling and root planning perspective, but rather a way to see how periodontal surgery for augmenting and/or moving gingiva will give you better restorative results. Attendees will see useful methods for improving soft tissue appearance around natural teeth, restorations, and implants. Techniques discussed include Free Gingival Grafts, and Connective Tissue Grafts. By illustrating with both slides and multiple case examples, participants will see the indications and benefits of these procedures, and learn how they directly impact better restorative results.
