A patient at AHEAD Academy, Mohali
complained of gummy smile. Crown lengthening was performed. Incisal bevel was
given followed by circular incision. Bone cutting and suture was given and coe
pack was placed. A short clinical crown occurs as a result of, deep subgingival
caries, tooth fracture, iatrogenic factors may lead to poor retention form
which allow for proper tooth preparation. Surgical crown lengthening procedure
is done to increase the clinical crown length without violating the biologic
width.
Objectives:
Exposure of sufficient sound tooth structure in case of deep
subgingival tooth fracture and carious lesion
To enhance retention of restoration
Correct placement of margins of restorations without violating
the biologic width
Improved esthetics in patients with uneven gingival margin
and excessive gingival display.
