Andre Saadoun on crown lengthening — from the conventional flap to a digital, esthetic-led approach
In Crown Lengthening From Conventional to Digital Approach, Paris periodontist Andre Saadoun spends 85 minutes on the surgery that gives restorations the tooth structure they need. He frames crown lengthening for subgingival fracture, caries, uneven gingival levels, worn short crowns, altered passive eruption and the gummy smile, and argues that a careful diagnosis drives the esthetic result.

Inside the course
Indications and diagnosis
Saadoun runs through the situations that call for crown lengthening — fracture, caries, tooth wear, altered passive or forced eruption, the gummy smile — and why each needs its own read.
Conventional to digital
The lesson contrasts the established surgical technique with a digital workflow, showing how planning choices carry straight through to the esthetics the patient sees.
