TONIGHT: Free masterclass on Gingival recession: When to graft, restore, or monitor
Register through the link in bio!

Two similar-looking recessions can have very different root coverage potential.

Cairo et al. (2011) classified gingival recession by comparing interproximal clinical attachment loss with facial CAL:

— RT1: No interproximal attachment loss. Complete root coverage is a reasonable objective, subject to other clinical and surgical factors.

— RT2: Interproximal attachment loss ≤ facial CAL. Complete coverage remains possible in selected cases, depending on the extent of loss and treatment approach.

— RT3: Interproximal attachment loss > facial CAL. Complete coverage is not expected with conventional root-coverage procedures; plan for recession reduction with residual exposure.

👉 Measure CAL from the corresponding CEJ to the base of the sulcus/pocket at each site. Facial recession depth alone does not provide that comparison.

Then refine the prognosis. CEJ detectability, tooth position, root prominence and papillary anatomy affect assessment of the intended margin.

Defect dimensions, gingival thickness, keratinized tissue, vestibular depth and frenal pull influence surgical planning.

Smoking, plaque control and surgical ex*****on also affect healing and maintenance.

We’ll explore these decisions tonight in Gingival Recession: When to Graft, Restore or Monitor. Reserve your free seat through the link in bio.

Comment “CLASS” and I’ll send you the link to tomorrow’s FREE Soft Tissue Masterclass with Dr. Abbas Hassanali!

When harvesting a soft tissue graft from the palate, knowing where to make your incisions is critical.

Too far toward the palatal vault: You risk injuring the greater palatine artery, which can lead to significant bleeding.

Too close to the teeth: You risk damaging the marginal gingiva and causing recession at the donor site.
A good guideline is to maintain at least 3 mm between your coronal incision and the palatal gingival margin.

But palatal anatomy varies, and understanding the anatomy is essential to minimizing complications.

Tomorrow, October 14: Join Dr. Abbas Hassanali (Abbas Hassanali) for our FREE LIVE Masterclass:

Gingival Recession: When to Graft, When to Restore, When to Monitor

Aesthetic treatment is want-based, not need-based.

Applications are closing for Dr. Gordon Chee’s Veneer & Aesthetic Dentistry Mentorship Program.
Link in CourseKarma.com 👉 Helping you Find the Best Dental CE bio.

For many dentists trying to take on more aesthetic cases, the limitation isn’t the prep, it’s getting the patient to move forward.

The consultation therefore cannot feel like a list of procedures and prices. The patient needs to feel heard, understand the plan and trust that you understand what they want from their smile.

That is why I walk into every consultation believing the patient will say yes. Not to pressure them, but because fear of rejection changes how you speak. You become hesitant, undersell the plan and sometimes sell yourself short before the patient has even decided.

Case acceptance is not separate from the clinical workflow. It is what allows the clinical workflow to begin.

Wise words from DR. GORDON CHEE | YYC Dentist | Happiness Creator

Before you harvest a graft, what tissue are you actually taking?

An FGG (Free gingival graft) includes the epithelium and underlying connective tissue. It’s typically used to create a wider band of keratinized tissue.

A CTG (Connective tissue graft) excludes the overlying epithelium and is commonly used for root coverage and tissue thickening.

But there’s more than one way to obtain it: harvest beneath a retained palatal flap, or take an FGG and remove its epithelium extraorally.

The harvesting route also affects the donor site. An exposed FGG wound generally heals by secondary intention, while subepithelial harvesting can allow primary closure beneath the covering flap.

Understanding those differences helps you connect the tissue you harvest with what the case needs.

Applications for Dr. Gordon Chee’s Veneer & Aesthetic Dentistry Mentorship Program close TODAY. Comment “Veneer” for the link to apply.

Excess cement removal might be one of the most stressful parts of the veneer workflow. You’ve seated the veneer, but leave cement around the cervical or proximal margins, and the finished case can come back with irritated gingiva.

Here’s the cleanup sequence:

1- Seat and stabilize the veneer with controlled pressure.
2- Clear the initial excess while maintaining its position.
3- Spot cure briefly until the cement reaches a firm, peelable gel stage. Timing depends on the cement and curing setup, so follow its instructions.
4- Lift the bulk excess from the accessible facial, cervical and proximal margins.
5- Complete the cure, then check again. Remove any remaining cement, finish and polish the margins, inspect under magnification, and confirm floss passes through every contact.

The veneer isn’t finished when it’s bonded. It’s finished when the margins are clean, smooth and accessible.

Deadline to apply is Sunday!

Here’s a look at Dr. Gordon Chee’s veneer cementation workflow, from isolation all the way through to seating the veneers:

1. Rubber dam isolation: Mark the tooth positions, punch the dam, and make one straight cut for a split dam technique.
2. Seal the split dam: Trim a Dri-Angle to fit palatally, then place bite-registration material behind the teeth to close the palatal opening and support the dam.
3. LiquiDam: Apply over the cervical and papillary areas to protect exposed gingiva during air abrasion and reinforce the cervical seal.
4. Sandblast: Air-abraid the prepared tooth surfaces with aluminum oxide to remove surface contamination and texture the substrate.
5. Chlorhexidine rinse: Remove the liquid rubber dam and wash the prepared teeth with chlorhexidine to reduce bacterial contamination.
6. Protect the neighbouring teeth: Cover adjacent teeth with PTFE tape to keep etchant, adhesive, and resin cement away from neighbouring surfaces and avoid bonding the teeth together.
7. Etch + apply adhesive: Etch the preparations with phosphoric acid. Rinse, dry, and apply the adhesive according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Seat the veneers: Apply a veneer-specific resin cement and seat the veneers, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Bonding e.max veneers? Here’s the sequence:

1- Complete the try-in and verify fit, contacts and optical integration.

2- Etch the intaglio with 5% hydrofluoric acid for 20 seconds, then rinse thoroughly.

3- Apply 37% phosphoric acid for 15 seconds and rinse.

4- Place the veneers in an ultrasonic bath with distilled water for two minutes to remove residual HF reaction products.

5- Dry with clean, oil-free air and apply a silane-containing ceramic primer according to its IFU.

6- Protect the treated surface from contamination and proceed with adhesive resin cementation.

Next up, cementation!

*Always confirm any pretreatment performed by the laboratory and follow the ceramic- and product-specific instructions.

Most dentists who want to do more veneer cases are not short on interest.

What often stands in the way is everything that comes after learning: choosing the right case, presenting treatment with confidence, following a predictable workflow, and knowing where to turn when the patient is in the chair and the case no longer feels straightforward.

That is the gap this program was built to address.

Introducing the 6-month Veneer Dentistry Mentorship Program with Dr. Gordon Chee, a live learning and implementation experience designed to help dentists move veneer cases from intention into practice.

And for the Course Karma community, Gordon is also providing a FREE masterclass on “True Conservatism in Aesthetic Dentistry”.

Applications are now open for a small group of dentists.
