This video course illustrates Prof. Giovanni Zucchelli’s approach to osseous resective surgery. It provides comprehensive training on performing effective and predictable clinical crown lengthening to enhance the esthetics and function of patients' smiles.

Theoretical lectures cover the indications and contraindications for periodontal surgery, as well as prevention strategies for treatment failures. Clinical videos showcase Prof. Zucchelli's treatment protocols aimed at eliminating anatomical discrepancies and reshaping periodontal tissues. These procedures are essential for restoring proper bone morphology prior to clinical crown lengthening on both single and multiple teeth.

Learn to make your mucogingival surgery procedures more efficient by addressing underlying bone defects using the osseous resective surgery techniques taught in this course.

The course includes:

  • 11 theoretical video lessons

  • Several clinical videos

Topics covered in the course:

  • Biological width and early restorative phase

  • Clinical crown lengthening and interdental papilla regeneration

  • Diagnosis of passive altered eruption

  • Surgical treatment of the gummy smile

  • Resective surgery in natural and pre-prosthetic dentition

  • Distal wedge procedure, thinned palatal flap, and apically positioned flap

At the end of the course, you will be able to:

  • Identify and manage bone defects

  • Understand the anatomical characteristics of soft and hard tissues

  • Eliminate periodontal pockets

  • Reshape bone morphology to facilitate mucogingival surgery

  • Perform clinical crown lengthening to improve smile esthetics and function

  • Adopt innovative protocols including the “In&Out” drilling technique and FibRe-ORS

  • Prevent failures in Periodontology
