Background: The aesthetic appearance of gingiva is influenced by color, contour, interdental papilla and location gingival margin. Crown lengthening one the surgical procedures performed to improve problems. It can be gingivectomy, with or without alveolar bone removal (osteotomy) obtain a good crown root ratios.
 Objective: To better ratios, resulting in more smile.
 Case Report: A 2...

Introduction: Biological Width is needed to maintain the health of gingiva around teeth that need restoration. Crown Lengthening (CL) surgery can be used to prevent  invading the BW by sub-gingival restoration. The aim of this study was to evaluate gingival indices before and after CL surgery. Materials and Methods: In this analytical-longitudinal study, 23 teeth of 18  patients referred to ...

BACKGROUND Crown lengthening procedures are a significant part of the periodontist's armamentarium. In order to recreate the clinical space lost to caries or trauma necessary for prosthetic restoration, osseous surgery is often required. If the procedure is not carefully planned, it may result in furcation involvement of multirooted teeth. METHODS Twenty-six subjects with 26 mandibular molar ...

Background: Crown lengthening (CL) is a perio–aesthetic treatment to gain an ideal proportion of teeth and gingiva, depigmentation treat gingival hyperpigmentation.
 Objective: To describe the altered passive eruption (APE) with CL procedure using scalpel scraping technique.
 Case Report: A 21-year-old man presented complaint short maxillary front brownish gum. Intraoral examination r...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to perform a radiographic follow-up evaluation after a 12-month healing period, following crown lengthening surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-three periodontally healthy subjects (mean age 32.5 years) that required crown lengthening surgery in premolars were recruited. In a total of 30 premolars, full thickness flaps, osseous resection, and flap sutu...

Background: High frenum attachment has a detrimental effect on periodontal tissue and esthetics. adhesion to the frenulum can lead gingivitis central diastema, which are indications for frenectomy. A better oral aesthetic appearance improves overall personality self-confidence when smiling. Short clinical crown is often patient complaint, one of causes being altered passive eruption.

In the maxillary anterior region, the gingival labial margin position is an important parameter in the achievement of an ideal smile. The relationship between the periodontium and the restoration is critical if gingival health and esthetics are to be achieved. Periodontal therapy is a necessary and useful adjunct when any anterior restoration is undertaken. Anterior surgical crown lengthening m...

The use of resin cements in combination with dentin bonding agents can result in superior attachment of prostheses to tooth structure. This paper describes four clinical cases in which dentin-bonded resin cements were used to overcome retention problems. In the first case, a detached fixed partial denture, which was in good condition when separated, was recemented to abutment teeth prepared wit...
