Functional Posterior Crown Lengthening Course
HYBRID | CE Credits Will Vary | TUITION $2,000
When it comes to the restoration of posterior dentition in non-aesthetic locations, there are few treatment modalities of more utility and importance than correctly done functional posterior crown lengthening. The ability to adjust the tissue and bone anatomy prior to restoration can predictably result in a more stable and healthy final result.
Overview
This course will provide both foundational knowledge and hands-on experience (both in the lab and with live patients) that will allow the attendee to perform simple, functional posterior crown lengthening procedures in their practices. (Note: this course does not teach aesthetic crown lengthening procedures more routinely in the aesthetic zone).
