Description:
Crown lengthening procedures lay the groundwork for restorative and cosmetic dentistry and/or to improve the esthetics of your gum line and smile. The goal is to create access and/or to expose adequate tooth structure to facilitate restorative procedures. Procedures to correct a “gummy” smile or “short teeth” will be discussed. Procedures to adjust the gum and bone level to expose more tooth structure when teeth are decayed, broken below the gum line, or have inadequate tooth structure for restorations will also be discussed.

Learning objectives:
Participants will be able to:

• Understand evidence-based options and case selection
• Evaluate tissue biotype and consider corresponding options
• Understand the sequence of combination procedures
