Classify soft tissue conditions accurately
Evaluate phenotype, tissue dimensions and soft tissue defects around natural teeth and implants before selecting the surgical approach.
Aesthetic Crown Lengthening and Soft Tissue Fundamentals
Shape gingival architecture with a clear protocol for diagnosis, flap design, grafting, suturing and aesthetic crown lengthening.

PRACTICAL
Aesthetic soft tissue surgery begins with diagnosis, not the incision.
This course addresses the decisions that determine whether crown lengthening and mucogingival procedures improve both function and aesthetics: phenotype assessment, defect classification, flap design, graft selection, biologic width and tissue stability.
Unpredictable results often come from applying the same technique to different tissue conditions. These two days provide a structured way to diagnose the site, select the approach and execute each step with greater precision.
What you hear in the clinic
"I know the procedure, but I am not always confident choosing the right flap, graft or suturing approach for the tissue in front of me."
What the course teaches
A repeatable diagnostic and surgical workflow for crown lengthening, graft harvesting, flap management and microsurgical closure.
What changes Monday
Clearer treatment decisions, more controlled tissue handling and aesthetic outcomes planned around the phenotype and restorative goal.
By the end of the course, you will know how to diagnose, plan and perform fundamental soft tissue procedures.
Six practical capabilities that connect tissue assessment, crown lengthening, graft selection, flap management and minimally invasive surgery.
Perform aesthetic crown lengthening
Plan and execute the procedure step by step while coordinating gingival architecture, biologic principles and restorative objectives.
Choose the appropriate grafting technique
Differentiate palatal strip grafts, connective tissue grafts and soft tissue substitutes according to the clinical indication.
Harvest palatal and tuberosity grafts
Practice donor-site techniques designed to obtain suitable tissue while improving control, healing and patient comfort.
Control flap design and microsurgical closure
Apply split-thickness and full-thickness flaps with suturing materials and techniques selected for stability and aesthetic healing.
Apply minimally invasive soft tissue protocols
Combine biologic agents, novel biomaterials and evidence-based decision-making to improve soft tissue outcomes.
Four hands-on sessions
Diagnose the tissue, design the flap, harvest the graft and close with precision — with expert feedback at every stage.
You will not just review the techniques.
You will perform them.
Across four supervised hands-on sessions, you will practice crown lengthening, flap design, graft harvesting and microsurgical suturing on realistic training models.

Ready to secure your seat?
Reserve seatThis is for you if…
You want a structured approach to aesthetic crown lengthening and fundamental soft tissue surgery.
You need greater confidence diagnosing tissue phenotype and selecting the appropriate grafting technique.
You want supervised practice in flap design, graft harvesting and microsurgical suturing.
You treat natural teeth or implants and want more predictable functional and aesthetic tissue outcomes.
Probably not for you if…
You are looking for a course focused exclusively on hard tissue or implant placement.
You want theoretical lectures without hands-on microsurgical practice.
You do not currently diagnose or perform periodontal or restorative procedures involving soft tissue.
A complete path from tissue diagnosis to stable aesthetic healing
Five connected stages in the order you will use them — a repeatable workflow for crown lengthening and fundamental mucogingival procedures.
-
01
Diagnosis & tissue classification
Assess phenotype, defect type, periodontal anatomy and restorative objectives before selecting the intervention.
-
02
Treatment & graft selection
Choose the crown lengthening, grafting or substitute-based approach according to the clinical condition and desired outcome.
-
03
Flap design & surgical access
Create split-thickness or full-thickness flaps that provide access while preserving blood supply and tissue architecture.
-
04
Crown lengthening & graft execution
Perform the planned procedure, harvest or position the selected graft and manage the tissue according to biologic principles.
-
05
Suturing, healing & follow-up
Stabilize the tissues with microsurgical suturing and apply post-operative protocols that support predictable healing.
Everything needed for two focused soft tissue training days.
Study resources, workshop tools, supervised practice and meals are included so you can focus on building a repeatable soft tissue workflow.

Hear it from the clinicians who experienced it.
“It’s not just lectures—it’s hands-on, real cases with real guidance that I’m already using in my own practice.”
Dr. Nasgoll Viola
KADI Institute
“Completing the courses gave me a whole new level of confidence to offer my patients the best treatment.”
Dr. Sandrine Riboul
KADI Institute
“The course strengthened my knowledge, my confidence, and ultimately the way I care for my patients.”
Dr. Elianne Vasquez

Learn from doctors who practice, publish and teach.
Not generic speakers — recognized clinicians with real academic and surgical credibility, sharing the exact protocol they use.
Dr. Leandro Chambrone
Dr. Chambrone has a wealth of experience in periodontal, implant-dentistry, oral health research, evidence-based dentistry, editorial publishing affairs, didactic teaching, and clinical training of predoctoral and postgraduate (MSc and PhD) students. He received a DDS and a Certificate in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics from Methodist University of São Paulo in Brazil. Subsequently, he earned a Masters degree and PhD in Periodontics from the University of São Paulo.
Dr. Ismael Khouly
Dr. Ismael Khouly is a distinguished leader in the field of implant dentistry and the founder and clinical director of the Multidisciplinary Implant and Aesthetic Miami Institute now known as KADI Institute (Khouly Advanced Dental Institute). With a passion for education and a vision to bring accessible and high-quality learning to dentists worldwide, Dr. Khouly established this institute as a platform to share his extensive knowledge and experience gained throughout his illustrious career.
All remaining doubts, answered clearly.
Is this course right for me?
Yes. It is designed for general dentists and specialists who want to master modern and conventional aesthetic crown lengthening and improve soft tissue management around teeth and implants.
Will I practice the procedures myself?
Yes. You will perform crown lengthening, flap design, suturing and graft harvesting on realistic microsurgical training models under expert supervision.
Do I need advanced surgical experience?
No. The course follows a structured, step-by-step approach that helps clinicians build confidence and precision in each procedure.
Will I learn both functional and aesthetic applications?
Yes. You will work with mucogingival diagnosis, tissue phenotype and aesthetic crown lengthening principles that support both function and aesthetics.
Do I receive CE credits?
Yes. After completing the course, you can earn up to 20 CE credits recognized through AGD PACE.
