What you will learn?

Practical course in differential diagnosis and esthetic crown lengthening surgery. Achieve predictable, stable, long-term outcomes in gummy smile treatment.

This hands-on program is designed to help you master clinical analysis, biological principles, and controlled surgical execution in the management of excessive gingival display.

Gummy smile is not simply a matter of gingival excess. It reflects a complex imbalance between teeth, gingiva, alveolar bone, and facial structures. Clinical success depends on accurate etiological identification and the application of a biologically driven surgical strategy. This course provides a comprehensive, structured protocol for clinicians who want to eliminate uncertainty and achieve long-term esthetic stability.

Differential Diagnosis & Esthetic Analysis

You will explore the full spectrum of gummy smile etiology, including: altered passive eruption, vertical maxillary excess, hyperactive upper lip, and dentoalveolar extrusion. You will learn how to perform a precise “pink & white” esthetic assessment, understand and respect the supracrestal tissue attachment, and recognize situations in which surgical intervention is contraindicated.

Surgical Strategy & Operative Techniques (Hands-On)

You will gain practical training in incision design principles, flap management techniques and the clinical distinction between osteotomy and osteoplasty.
The hands-on session emphasizes controlled osseous reduction, precise tissue repositioning, and optimization of healing dynamics to ensure stable and predictable gingival architecture.

Biological Stability & Long-Term Outcomes

You will develop a clear understanding of soft tissue response following surgery, the influence of periodontal phenotype and the healing timelines and tissue maturation.
Advanced suturing techniques for tension control and recurrence prevention will be covered, alongside the biological principles that ensure harmonious and stable esthetic outcomes over time.

Course led by Dr. Camila Stadiniski, Specialist in Periodontology, with extensive clinical experience in esthetic gingival surgery and soft tissue management.

01. Esthetic Analysis & Differential Diagnosis

Everything begins with correctly identifying the etiology of the gummy smile. We will evaluate the balance between the pink and white components, analyze dentogingival proportions, and review the concept of the supracrestal tissue attachment. You will learn how to differentiate between altered passive eruption, vertical maxillary excess, and hyperactive upper lip. This phase provides the clinical reasoning necessary to determine when surgery is indicated — and equally important, when it is not.

02. Surgical Strategy & Controlled Execution (Hands-On)

You will move from planning to intervention through a structured, step-by-step surgical protocol: incision design, flap management and proper indication for osteotomy versus osteoplasty.
You will learn how to control osseous thickness, reposition soft tissues accurately, and ensure post-operative stability in order to establish a harmonious and predictable gingival framework.

03. Healing, Stability & Tissue Maturation

The final phase focuses on controlling the long-term outcome. We will explore healing timelines, the influence of periodontal phenotype, and advanced suturing techniques aimed at reducing tissue tension. You will understand how to prevent relapse and how to secure long-term esthetic stability through biologically guided tissue maturation.

A certificate of participation will be provided.

Technical Course Description:

Participants will develop mastery of advanced esthetic crown lengthening concepts through a structured protocol focused on differential diagnosis and surgical planning. From dentogingival proportion analysis and periodontal phenotype assessment to establishing the correct indication for osteotomy or osteoplasty, the course provides a logical and highly predictable framework for intervention.

The program combines both theoretical foundations and practical application, with strong emphasis on rigorous clinical documentation. Clinical photography and CBCT analysis are integrated as essential tools for surgical decision-making. Precise protocols are explained and practiced for incision design, flap management, and controlled osseous reduction, ensuring preservation of the supracrestal tissue attachment and long-term stability of the final gingival margin position.

The course covers the complete therapeutic workflow — from understanding the etiology of gummy smile and recognizing the limits of surgical indication, to optimizing suturing techniques and managing soft tissue healing. The primary focus is achieving harmonious esthetic outcomes supported by long-term biological stability and a minimal risk of recurrence.

Case Studies / Visible Results

The course includes detailed clinical demonstrations and comparative analyses of various gummy smile etiologies, providing clear insight into the clinical decision-making process and the impact of each intervention on the final esthetic outcome.

Real cases of esthetic crown lengthening are presented, including post-operative follow-up and long-term stability assessment. Participants will be able to correlate surgical design, extent of osseous reduction, and suturing technique with final tissue maturation, gaining a clear understanding of the direct relationship between surgical precision and clinical predictability.

Testimonials

Experiența de astăzi a fost marcată de profesionalism, competență și dedicare. Mi-a plăcut în mod special combinația dintre experiența doctorului și utilizarea SmileCloud, au fost oferite detalii tehnice pe care le pot aplica direct în practica de zi cu zi. Aș reveni pentru un lector specializat în chirurgie parodontală. Singura recomandare pe care aș avea-o pentru edițiile viitoare ar fi instalarea unui sistem audio care să permită o mai bună audibilitate în sală. În rest, totul a fost impecabil. Dispozitivele puse la dispoziție mi s-au părut foarte performante, sincer, nu mă așteptam să fie atât de up-to-date. Totul a fost peste așteptări.

Pentru mine, ziua de azi a fost emoționantă, m-am simțit în locul potrivit pentru a evolua. Cel mai mult mi-a plăcut partea legată de Smile Design. Nu știam absolut nimic înainte, iar spre deosebire de alte cursuri la care am fost, aici lucrurile au fost explicate în detaliu și într-un ritm potrivit. M-aș reîntoarce la un curs susținut de un lector din zona proteticii. Dispozitivele utilizate pe parcursul cursului au fost profi și mi-au lăsat o impresie excelentă.

A fost o experiență superbă. Mi-a plăcut organizarea și informațiile acumulate, unele le citisem în cărți, dar aici am avut oportunitatea să adresez întrebări și să port discuții directe, inclusiv cu lectorul, ceea ce face o mare diferență. Schimbul de experiență cu colegii și prietenii prezenți a fost valoros. Invitatul de astăzi a fost minunat. Nu am recomandări legate de organizare, totul a fost în regulă. Dispozitivele puse la dispoziție mi s-au părut performante, iar atmosfera generală a fost una în care m-am simțit foarte bine.

Evenimentul de azi a fost eficient, sincer și plin de informații utile. Am apreciat onestitatea cu care au fost prezentate cazurile, s-a lucrat pe un caz real, de la A la Z, iar informațiile pe care le-am întâlnit anterior doar fragmentat au prins în sfârșit contur. A fost un eveniment cu sfaturi practice și valoroase. Mi-ar plăcea să revin pentru un curs susținut de Mariano Rocabada. Nu am recomandări de îmbunătățire, totul mi s-a părut bine organizat. Mâncarea a fost foarte bună, chiar dacă am glumit că poate a fost prea multă. Dispozitivele au fost exact ce trebuie, nu aș avea nevoie de nimic în plus.

Aș descrie evenimentul de azi în trei cuvinte: mâncare, dinți și tehnologie. Mi-a plăcut foarte mult ideea că le pot arăta pacienților mei cum va arăta zâmbetul lor în viitor, cred că va fi de mare ajutor. Dispozitivele utilizate mi s-au părut foarte faine, e clar că acesta este viitorul. Vreau să le integrez în clinica noastră și să le arăt pacienților. Tehnologia deja ajută medicina, iar evoluția în acest sens va fi una frumoasă. Organizarea a fost bună, locația mi-a plăcut. Iar mâncarea, excelentă, mai ales pentru că îmi place rața. Aș reveni pentru un curs susținut de doctor Duval.

Pentru mine, experiența de azi a fost informativă, emoționantă și prea scurtă. A fost o avalanșă de informații noi, într-un context în care digitalizarea e inevitabilă. Dacă nu ținem pasul, riscăm să pierdem trenul. Am simțit că mai era nevoie de încă o zi, pentru a putea lucra digital și a asimila practic tot ce s-a discutat. Într-o singură zi e greu să aprofundezi totul, mai ales spre finalul zilei când deja oboseala se simte. Dispozitivele puse la dispoziție au fost excelente. Spațiul e frumos amenajat, lumina bună, iar totul a fost la un standard înalt. Singura mențiune ar fi legată de utilizarea microscopului, dacă vorbim despre preparări minim-invazive, ar fi util să avem lentilele și binoclul la dispoziție.

Why is this course worth attending?

Esthetic periodontal surgery is not about “removing gingiva” — it is about accurate diagnosis, correct proportions, and long-term biological stability.

You will learn exactly what you need to manage gummy smile cases predictably: rigorous differential diagnosis, respect for the supracrestal tissue attachment, controlled incision design, precise osseous reduction, and suturing techniques that optimize healing. All delivered in an intensive format, grounded in biological principles and taught by a specialist who turns esthetic surgery into a clear, clinically applicable protocol.

What You Risk by Not Attending This Course:

Misidentifying the etiology of excessive gingival display and performing surgery when the indication is incorrect.
Violating the supracrestal tissue attachment, leading to relapse or chronic inflammation due to poorly controlled osseous reduction.
Creating gingival asymmetries or unstable outcomes in the absence of a rigorous planning and execution protocol.
Overlooking the impact of periodontal phenotype on healing and long-term stability.
Delivering unpredictable esthetic results that undermine patient confidence and your professional reputation.

When diagnosis is superficial, surgery becomes a gamble — not a controlled clinical act.
