Contact length shrinks as anterior teeth wear. Papilla height doesn’t move. So how do you fix the mismatch?

You have two options: lengthen the incisal edge restoratively (fixes contact length, not papilla position, and risks overexposure if you skip your FGTP principles), or move the papilla apically with orthodontic intrusion (OI) or crown lengthening (CL).

Dr. Darin Dichter breaks down a key factor in that decision: root length. Long, broad roots favor CL. Shorter roots point toward OI. And that 1:1 crown-to-root ratio from dental school? The literature doesn’t actually support it. European data suggests a minimum of 9 mm of root left in bone post-CL where possible, though tooth structure and retention needs can shift that. Short on tooth structure for your restoration? CL can solve both problems.

No formula here, just clinical judgment. Full breakdown in our Worn Dentition Workshop with Drs. Dichter and Winter. Register here: https://hubs.li/Q04yhq5l0

We’re thrilled to announce a new executive education experience: Lead Like a CFO held at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business. This course will teach you what dental school (and most business schools leave out): how to apply proven financial frameworks to the practice of building and growing a dental practice.

Dr. Mohan Venkatachalam is the R.J. Reynolds Professor of Business Administration at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business who teaches his students how to confidently make financial decisions and assess financial KPIs. This November, he's bringing those frameworks to dental practice leaders.

Lead Like a CFO covers how to read your financials, evaluate acquisitions and partnerships, assess major investments, and engage lenders and advisors with confidence.

November 13–14, 2026 | JB Duke Hotel, Durham, NC
Presented by Spear Education + Align Technology

Your practice metrics are more than numbers on a report. Together, they can tell a much bigger story.

From patient retention and case acceptance to production and hygiene performance, understanding how key metrics connect can help practice leaders identify opportunities, make informed decisions, and build toward sustainable growth.

The goal isn’t simply to track more data. It’s to know what to do with it.

Explore the essential metrics every practice owner should be watching in the latest Spear Digest.

Photogrammetry shows what digital dentistry can do at its best: simplify a demanding workflow while improving the accuracy of implant-position capture.

This reel includes an excerpt from a conversation with the President-Elect of the AGD, Dr. George Schmidt, on photogrammetry and digital dentistry. In my new Spear Digest article, I take that discussion further, looking at where PG adds the most value, the tradeoffs that come with increasingly streamlined workflows, and the responsibility we retain as clinicians as technology continues to evolve.

Are you using PG in your practice? Let us know where it’s added the most value and what challenges you’ve encountered.
