Why Crown Lengthening:
In your private practice you routinely face with frustrating challenges in situations where you need to restore teeth in the smile zone with uneven gingival levels, and /or crowns that keep coming out with minimal or no retention.
Crown Lengthening is a simple surgical procedure that should be incorporated into every practice, crown lengthening, should be a part of every restorative practice.
Dr. Sordelli will review in detail all aspects of esthetics and functional crown lengthening, and guide you through hands-on demonstrations so you can start diagnosing, treatment planing and performing this procedure in your practice the next day.
This course includes hands-on exercises, lecture and life surgery demonstration of surgical technique. The full day workshop will give you the opportunity to practice these procedures on pig jaws.
