BACKGROUND In order to restore severely attrited teeth properly, surgical intervention in the form of a crown-lengthening procedure may be required. And also, proper diagnosis and treatment sequencing is critical to obtain a successful results. Adequate diagnostic wax-up ensures good esthetics and healthy periodontal tissue. CASE DESCRIPTION This clinical case report describes a diagnosticall...

Short clinical crown affects appearance and retention of the restoration placed within aesthetic zone. Thereafter, Surgical lengthening procedure is done to increase length for restorative or reasons without breaching biologic width. Herewith, we present a case along with osseous reduction on maxillary anteriors in 25 years female patient referred our department which resulted harmonious symmet...

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.

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...

this case report describes the multidisciplinary management of subgingival horizontal crown–root fracture of an immature permanent maxillary central incisor in a 10-year-old boy. after removal of the fractured fragment, pulpotomy was performed within 48 h from the injury to promote apexogenesis. the tooth was orthodontically extruded until the fracture line was located above the alveolar bone l...

To understand why the crown lengthening may be desirable, a review of periodontal anatomy is in order. The odontologists know, but often underestimate importance of periodontal tissues health to restoration of defected teeth or dental arches. In order to avoid pathological changes, to predict treatment results more precisely, it is necessary to keep gingival biological width unaltered during te...
