Letter From Doug Proudlock

This "Hands On" course is designed for dentists who want to do some or most of their own crown extensions. This workshop is designed to help you achieve that goal.

We will be teaching simple to hard crown lengthening cases. All hands-on exercises will use fresh frozen pig jaws for soft tissue flap design and anatomically correct plaster models for actual osseous crown lengthening. Biologic width, crown retention, and crown root ratios will be discussed as well as soft tissue crown lengthening.

This is a stand-alone course that will allow you to do many of your own crown lengthening cases. If you choose not to do your cases, it will help you understand the principles. Often, when dealing with crown lengthening, it becomes apparent that extracting is the best answer, and a bridge or an implant may be the treatment of choice. All these issues will be discussed, plus hands-on training.

Please call me personally if you have any questions, at 1-800-327-3746

Sincerely,
