A 2-Day Perio-Restorative Masterclass
Surgery, Vertipreps and the Active Restorative Loop
Crown lengthening is often taught as surgery first, restoration later. In practice, it is rarely that simple.
The quality of the final result depends not only on the surgery, but on how the tissues are managed after surgery, how the restoration is planned, and how the case is actively guided through healing.
What you will learn
Beyond the Margin is an intensive 2-day masterclass designed to teach crown lengthening as a unified perio-restorative pathway.
It brings together biologic principles, surgical crown lengthening, restorability, ferrule capture, and vertical preparation concepts so that clinicians can manage both the surgical execution and the restorative phase with absolute clarity and control.
The Core Philosophy:
Crown lengthening determines where the bone sits. Vertiprep determines how the tissue adapts to the restoration. This is not a course in surgery alone, nor is it a course in restorative technique alone. It is a masterclass in how to engineer both together from the bone up.
Beyond Gingivectomy -Biology Behind Stability
Understand why simply cutting soft tissue fails long-term and learn how to preserve and respect the supracrestal tissue attachment for predictable, inflammation-free results.
From Aesthetic Design to Functional Restoration
Gain full control over anterior smile harmony and posterior tooth restorability, integrating digital planning, bone recontouring, and restorative strategies into your daily workflow to optimise outcomes
Hands-On Surgical Experience
Translate theory into skill through practical sessions on models and pigs jaws, covering flap design, osseous recontouring, and suturing techniques so you leave ready to apply it in real cases.
Insight
Gain insight into the appropriate application of restorative strategies, with or without surgical intervention, using biological principles as the foundation for sound clinical decision-making
Why This Course Is Different
Most crown lengthening courses focus heavily on surgical flap management and leave the restorative phase underdeveloped.
This programme takes a fundamentally different approach, tracking crown lengthening as a complete, unbroken clinical sequence:
At the heart of this sequence is the Active Restorative Loop. Rather than waiting passively for months for the tissues to settle before picking up a bur, delegates are taught how provisional restorations and vertical preparation concepts (Vertipreps) can be used to dynamically guide, support, and adapt to tissue healing in real time.
This approach makes the restorative phase more controlled, more flexible, and entirely respectful of biology.
Who This Programme Is For
This masterclass is designed for clinicians looking to elevate their treatment of advanced restorative cases, specifically those who:
• Carry out or refer crown lengthening and want a predictable prosthetic outcome.
• Restore structurally compromised teeth with subgingival margins or limited tooth structure.
• Want stronger biomechanical integration between surgical planning and margin location.
• Seek confidence in managing ferrule, structural retention, and long-term tissue stability.
• Want to master vertical preparation concepts in a practical, biologically driven way.
• Require a clear clinical framework for the timing of provisionalisation and final cementation.

Dr Malik is a Specialist in Prosthodontics with nearly 13 years of experience in complex restorative, aesthetic and implant dentistry. He holds a clinical academic position at the UCL Eastman Dental Institute, where he teaches and supervises postgraduate dentists in both research and advanced clinical practice relating to fixed and removable prosthodontics.
His work focuses on challenging cases, including full mouth rehabilitations, advanced tooth wear, developmental anomalies (such as hypodontia and amelogenesis imperfecta) as well as the prosthodontic management of oncology patients.
His courses combine academic rigour with clinical relevance, and are designed for dentists who want to deepen their understanding of restorative, implant, and digital workflows.
He has received multiple awards, including First Prize at the Italian Academy of Prosthodontics (AIOP), the UCL Eastman 3M Prize for Clinical and Academic Excellence, and recognition from the British Society of Prosthodontics (BSSPD).
Dr. Khurrum Hussain is a highly experienced Specialist Periodontist and Implant Surgeon with extensive expertise in managing complex periodontal and implant cases. Recognised on the General Dental Council’s Specialist List for Periodontics, he has built a reputation for his precision in cosmetic gum surgery, mucogingival procedures, and advanced implant rehabilitation aimed at restoring both oral health and aesthetics.
Alongside his clinical practice, Dr. Hussain plays an active role in postgraduate education. He serves as a Clinical Educator at the University of Manchester Dental Hospital, where he mentors and trains dentists in surgical and non-surgical periodontics, implantology, and regenerative techniques.
Dr. Hussain is also the co-founder of PerioMatters, an educational platform dedicated to advancing periodontal and implant knowledge among clinicians through courses, discussions, and evidence-based training. His commitment to professional development extends to his position on the leadership team of the National Osteology Group UK, where he contributes to bridging the gap between scientific research and clinical application.
His teaching and clinical philosophy focus on biological precision, minimally invasive techniques, and long-term stability — offering a unique perspective that blends academic depth with real-world surgical experience.
