Biologic Shaping: a conservative alternative to crown lengthening
Biologic Shaping: a conservative alternative to crown lengthening
Course overview
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.
