British Society of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry (BSP) Masterclass - Aesthetic Crown Lengthening

British Society of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry (BSP) Masterclass - Aesthetic Crown Lengthening is organized by British Society of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry (BSP) and will be held on May 19, 2023 at University of Birmingham, Birmingham, England, United Kingdom.

Description:
The Aesthetic Crown Lengthening Masterclass will be divided into two parts.
During the first part, delegates will participate in lectures and case-based discussions where they will learn the fundamentals of a facially driven aesthetic assessment and treatment planning of complex cases. Participants will actively plan surgery for a real-life case using PowerPoint/Keynote, Photoshop, and Digital Smile Design software. We will then assess the rationale behind different surgical techniques and key surgical decision-making.

The second part will be a hands-on workshop on pig’s jaws where participants will be able to practice:
• Carrying out a gingivectomy with blades/ electrosurgery units
• Raising a minimally invasive flap
• Osteoplasty using rotary and piezoelectric instrumentation
• Preparation of the root surface
• Suturing techniques

Aims:
To improve the knowledge and clinical proficiency in managing patients with the excess gingival display. 

Objectives:
• To understand the etiology of the excess gingival display. 
• To understand how to comprehensively assess a patient with excess gingival display
• To appreciate the role of CBCT and intra-oral scanning in the planning of crown lengthening surgery. 
• To improve your proficiency in surgical decision-making. To understand the rationale behind treating cases with either an open flap or flapless protocol. 
• To become more skilled in performing crown lengthening surgery. Including flap management, bone removal with rotary/piezoelectric instruments, and advanced suturing techniques.
