OHI-S Biologic Shaping a conservative alternative to crown lengthening 4 lessons 1h 54m

Advanced treatment protocols for perio-restorative cases in the Biologic Shaping concept — from the creator of this methodology, Dr. Daniel Melker!

On this course, you will learn:

– Biological and physiological backgrounds of the technique

– Treatment planning and diagnostic protocol

– Step-by-step protocols for periodontal surgical treatment

– Team-based approach in managing complex cases.

Dr. Daniel Melker demonstrates numerous clinical examples of minimally invasive techniques for achieving stable results.

The OHI‑S Biologic Shaping – A Conservative Alternative to Crown Lengthening program is best for restorative dentists, prosthodontists, and periodontists who want to manage subgingival margins and esthetic challenges without resorting to traditional crown lengthening surgery. It emphasizes biologically respectful techniques that preserve tissue and improve restorative outcomes.

Who Should Attend
Restorative dentists & prosthodontists working with crowns, veneers, and complex rehabilitations.
Periodontists interested in conservative soft‑tissue management.
General dentists seeking minimally invasive alternatives to surgical crown lengthening.
Implantologists coordinating soft‑tissue shaping with prosthetic design.
Dental residents & postgraduate students specializing in restorative or periodontal dentistry.
What You’ll Learn
Biologic shaping principles: how to manage gingival margins conservatively.
Alternatives to crown lengthening: tissue‑friendly techniques that avoid surgical reduction.
Soft‑tissue interaction: maintaining gingival health and esthetic harmony.
Clinical protocols: step‑by‑step guidance for biologic shaping in restorative cases.
Case‑based learning: examples of biologic shaping in anterior esthetic zones.
Troubleshooting: managing complications and ensuring long‑term stability.
