Crown lengthening procedures: An overview.

Dr. Renu Gupta

Abstract :

It is a procedure to gain clinical crown length for restorative purpose and to recapture biologic width, can also be performed to overcome esthetic problems usually associated with excessive gingival display coupled with insufficient crown length, gingival asymmetry or flat marginal contours. A short clinical crown may lead to poor retention form thereby leading to improper tooth preparation. Surgical crown lengthening procedure is done to increase the clinical crown length without violating the biologic width. Several techniques have been proposed for clinical crown lengthening which includes gingivectomy, apically displaced flap with or without resective osseous surgery etc.
