STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Researchers have long been in search of products to enhance healing and patient comfort postoperatively. PURPOSE This study aimed to assess the efficacy of propolis extract in combination with Coe-PakTM dressing for pain relief and wound healing after crown lengthening surgery. MATERIALS AND METHOD This randomized clinical trial was performed on 36 patients who were...

Lip repositioning surgery to address excessive gingival display induced by different etiologies has received major attention recently. Several techniques and variations have been reported, including myotomy or repositioning of the levator labii superioris muscle, Le Fort impaction, maxillary gingivectomies, botulinum toxin injections, and lip stabilization. This study reports a case of excessiv...

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...

This clinical case describes a treatment approach that combines, in a single appointment, a crown lengthening procedure and the final crown preparation for the restoration of a severely decayed tooth. This approach allows for a more accurate placement of the crown margin in relation to the bone crest while reducing treatment time.

There is little material in the literature that compares biological width measurements in periapical and bite-wings radiographs with clinical measurements. The purpose of this study was to compare measurements of biological width taken by three different methods which are frequently used for planning periodontal surgery - periapical radiograph, bite-wing radiograph and transperiodontal probing ...

Background: Biological width is a natural defensive space for periodontal tissue which important maintaining healthy so that it can support the success of dental restoration treatment. The localized alveolar bone loss, gingival recession, hyperplasia or combination all three be caused by poor biological restoration. obtained through crown lengthening when teeth have caries subgingival fractures...
