Day ONE - Gummy Smile Day
Course Description:
The "Gummy Smile Treatment:
Comprehensive Approach" course provides dental professionals a
comprehensive understanding of gummy smile assessment, diagnosis, and treatment
options. Participants will gain a clear view of the various causes of gummy
smiles and learn about the latest advancements in treatment techniques and
strategies. Through lectures, case studies, hands-on exercises, and live
surgery demonstrations, attendees will develop the skills to effectively
diagnose and treat gummy smiles, ultimately enhancing their ability to provide
optimal results.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this course,
participants will be able to:
- Identify the different etiologies
and contributing factors that lead to a gummy smile.
- Understand the principles of
smile analysis and its relevance in treatment planning for gummy smile
correction.
- Understand the Biological
principles involved in the precision and long-term stability of surgery and
treatment.
- Learn about various surgical
techniques, including gingivectomy, crown lengthening flap and flapless, lip
repositioning with Biovolumes, and the indication of orthognathic surgery and
orthodontic intrusion for gummy smile correction.
- Develop protocol in communication
to discuss treatment options, risks, and predictability effectively.
- Understand the importance of
interdisciplinary collaboration when managing complex gummy smile cases.

Day TWO and THREE - Treatment of
Recessions
Course Description:
This course was built to deliver
precise information about soft tissue management for periodontal tissue. From
treating recession and root exposure sites to phenotype modification
to achieving healthy and stable
tissue and to masking dark roots in the aesthetic site!
Method:
Repetition and exchange of teaching
techniques for skills development and memorization.
Biological concepts, Surgical
design, Incision drawing, hands-on practice - REPEAT
