• Lectures 3–6: supracrestal tissue relationships, margin placement, bone sounding, crest classifications and differences between tissue phenotypes.
• Lectures 7–12: altered passive eruption, its classifications and differential diagnosis, with examples of crown-lengthening decisions and complications from inadequate assessment.
• Lectures 13–16: surgical sequencing for altered passive eruption, gingivectomy, bone contouring and apically repositioned flaps, with discussion of preserving keratinised tissue and papillae.
• Lectures 17–23: coordinating gingival levels, provisional crowns and orthodontics; intrusion and extrusion concepts, complex deep-bite cases, contraindications and alternative treatment plans.
• Lecture 24: non-vital discolouration, material selection, bleaching options and soft-tissue approaches to masking dark roots.
• Lectures 25–27: single and multiple recession defects, root-coverage indications, coronal advancement versus tunnelling, flap release, grafting and suturing.
