Crown lengthening for anterior esthetics and periodontal health : Rationale and Report of Cases
|
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Clinical crown lengthening is a useful procedure to provide tooth length for proper restorative of a tooth without compromising the periodontium or the retentive qualities of the restoration. It is also useful for esthetic enhancement in patients with gingival hyperplasia and a 'gummy smile' due to incomplete exposure of the anatomic crown. Total treatment could involve endodontic , orthodontic, periodontic, and restorative procedures for anterior esthetics. Careful evaluation, case selection, treatment planing and surgical treatment following the principles outlines in this article can achieve results that meet the functional and esthetic challenges of current dental practice.
