Synopsis:

This lecture will highlight key steps involved in two adhesively driven esthetic reconstructions where functional and esthetic crown lengthening are indicated.  This will cover the importance of involvement of periodontist, restorative dentist, and lab technicians in the design of the case and steps involved in data collection, communication with specialists, surgical techniques and considerations, restorative considerations, and bonded delivery of final restorations.

Learning Objectives:

• Treatment planning anterior esthetic reconstructions involving crown lengthening,  smile design, and periodontal/restorative workflow
• Surgical steps of esthetic and functional crown lengthening
• Advantages of biological shaping for esthetics and long term restorative maintenance
