objective: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) are the most commonly prescribed pain control medications following periodontal surgery. this study aimed to compare the efficacy of three drug regimens namely celecoxib, celecoxib + caffeine and ibuprofen for pain relief following crown lengthening surgery.   methods: this randomized, double blind clinical trial was performed on 45 pati...

Background: Surgical crown lengthening is needed for teeth with subgingival caries, fractured teeth, insufficient crown length, and deep subgingival margin of failed restorations. Since there is no agreement on the effects of crown lengthening surgery on gingival parameters, the purpose of this study was to evaluate periodontal parameters in patients who needed crown lengthening surgery. Method...

UNLABELLED The rationale for crown lengthening procedures has progressively become more aesthetic-driven due to the increasing popularity of smile enhancement therapy. Although the biologic requirements are similar to the functionally oriented exposure of sound tooth structure, aesthetic expectations require an increased emphasis on the appropriate diagnosis of the hard and soft tissue relation...

Clinical crown lengthening is a periodontal resective procedure aimed at partial removal of supporting periodontal tissues to increase exposure of coronal tooth structure. Crown-lengthening involves various techniques, including gingivectomy or gingivoplasty, apically positioned flap procedure, which may include osseous resection and forced tooth eruption with or without fiberotomy. Soft-tissue...

Research shows that practitioners tend to underestimate the amount of tooth structure that must be exposed during a crown lengthening procedure. In the anterior portion of the mouth, this can lead to biologic width problems and subsequent cosmetic issues. This paper presents a biologically based, step-by-step approach to periodontal esthetic crown lengthening. Using a series of innovative measu...

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...

Clinical crown of the tooth is distance from gingival margin to incisal edge or occlusal surface tooth. Crown lengthening a surgical procedure designed increase extent supragingival structure, so that clinician can restore The (CLP) commonly used maintain dentogingival complex in optimal conditions and correct aesthetic defects through smile design. CLP an anterior driven region could be challe...

Restoration of crown-root fractures with the involvement supracrestal attached tissues represents difficulties for clinicians, as these types require a multidisciplinary approach adequate treatment and successful prognosis. Depending on location fracture, different approaches, such periodontal crown lengthening procedures, rapid orthodontic or surgical root extrusion tooth extraction followed b...
