Crown lengthening from flap design to festooning — Ziv Simon’s 20-hour surgical program with a complete live case
Gummy smiles, short clinical crowns and inflamed margins around restorations are the problems Surgical Master: Esthetic and Functional Crown Lengthening sets out to solve. Ziv Simon, inventor of the Z-pad suturing system, leads six modules and 65 lessons plus PDF material, totalling 20 h 45 min, that move from basic incisions through diagnosis, case presentation and surgery to a start-to-finish patient procedure.

What you’ll be able to do
- Lay out flaps, incisions and releasing cuts while respecting surgical danger zones
- Diagnose and plan functional and esthetic crown lengthening, including gummy smile and short tooth cases
- Perform ostectomy, osteoplasty and festooning, then close with controlled suturing
- Add distal wedges, frenectomies, tori reduction and hyperplasia management to multi-tooth cases
- Use digital simulation, surgical guides and Chu’s proportion gauge to set targets
- Present treatment, arrange fees and gather informed consent before operating
Inside the course
Surgical groundwork
Module one (2 h 45 min) covers flap design, when to incise and release, core instruments, two bonus videos on anatomical red zones and preferred flap designs for implants.
Why crown lengthening pays off
Nearly six hours explain how the procedure improves restorative quality and chairside predictability, how to handle discoloured gingiva around crowns, and how to follow a diagnostic sequence for excessive gingival display.
From consultation room to operatory
Module three deals with the business side: case presentation, finances and consent, then simulation and guide fabrication. Module four, the core at 9 h 40 min, is the surgical protocol itself with close-up footage and complication management.
Short clips and a full live procedure
Eleven shorter videos revisit basics and esthetic refinements; the final module follows one patient from welcome and time-out through gingivectomy, bone removal, suturing, hemostasis and post-op instructions.
Built for
- General dentists adding surgeryA structured route to offering crown lengthening in-house instead of referring.
- Restorative and esthetic cliniciansBetter margins, ferrule and gingival symmetry before crowns and veneers.

Before you buy
Why are only two modules itemised in the curriculum?
Modules one to four are described by topic rather than by lesson title, so only the bonus clips and the live surgery appear as individual lessons here.
Is part of the content business coaching rather than surgery?
Yes. Module three is largely about valuing your work, presenting treatment and financial arrangements, alongside consents and surgical guides.
Are written materials included?
PDFs accompany the videos, including protocols and checklists.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
