The Surgical Crown Lengthening Hands-on Course, delivered through BPI Dental Education & Training, is a one-day lecture and hands-on course that provides an overview of cases and techniques where crown lengthening can be applied in practice.
Dr Balraj Singh Sohal, a dentist who recently completed the course, shares his thoughts:
How did you find the content of the course, in terms of the topics, techniques and information provided?
I found the course to be very thorough but at the same time not overly complex, whereby the topics just go over your head. I also found the course to be very well-paced, which would be especially useful for somebody who’s just starting out with crown lengthening treatments.
What techniques did you find most beneficial to you?
Dr Ubhi had a variety of different ways of doing the same thing, such as using a scalpel as well as a laser, and showed how to apply both – I found this quite useful. I particularly valued the cases covered where you had a broken cusp, tooth or premolar, and you needed to apply crown lengthening, as I see this type of case quite frequently in practice.
It can be quite challenging at times not knowing how to tackle these cases step by step, so I really appreciated that we were shown step by step how to perform this treatment, as it meant I could implement it straightway.
I also found the hands-on aspect of the course to be really helpful, as it was beneficial to implement the knowledge whilst it was fresh. It also helped to have Dr Ubhi on hand to help. Because of the course size, it meant that we could ask questions and receive answers quite quickly.
How did you find working with Dr Ubhi?
I had been following his work for a while and heard a lot about him being one of the best periodontists to learn from. I really enjoyed his teaching approach.
The post-course support was also excellent. I was able to send him photos of cases that I was a bit unsure of how to tackle, and he was there to help. So, it’s not just what you get on the day of the course, but also what you get afterwards. Having that network and being able to speak to someone who is more experienced at doing these sorts of cases was great, and it’s something your patients can benefit from too.
I really enjoyed working with Dr Ubhi and I’m sure I’m going to attend more courses with him in the future.
Would you recommend the course to other dentists?
I already have!
Any final comments?
The course met all of my expectations and more. I’d encourage any dentist who wants to learn more about crown lengthening and gum-related treatments to definitely attend the training.
The knowledge at undergraduate level wasn’t as comprehensive as it could have been, which is why in my opinion a course like this is essential for a general dental practitioner.
