The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and efficacy of teaching crown lengthening surgical procedures using a prepared pig cadaver model.<h4>Methods</h4>Mandibles of slaughtered pigs with subgingival crown fracture defects on two premolars and two molars on each side were prepared as periodontal surgery teaching cases. A resident group (<i>n</i> = 20) and an instructor group (<i>n</i> = 18) participated in assessing the efficacy of the model by completing questionnaires before and after training sessions.
