Course Description
Cosmetic Dentistry, Fixed Prosthodontics
Whether you are doing crown lengthening procedures yourself or referring them out to a colleague, this live webinar will help you to better understand and deal with common everyday restorative challenges. Discussion will include diagnostic criteria, treatment choices, the role of provisionals, methods for achieving patient comfort, and obtaining the required “Biologic Width”.
A treatment planning section will share clinical and radiographic examples to expose clinicians to the types of cases that have benefited from using this approach, and give each participant the chance to see where these principles can be applied to actual cases. There also will be time for questions via “Chat”.
