Crown lengthening in restorative treatment workshop
Appreciation of the periodontal-restorative interface is of paramount importance when carrying out restorative, crown and bridge procedures - including Smile Design cases. This hands-on workshop is designed to provide participants with the theoretical and practical knowledge of crown lengthening surgery as part of restorative treatment planning.

Learn to:
- be aware of the various periodontal surgical procedures relating to crown lengthening and plan for better restorative results by considering these procedures
