Crown Lengthening Surgery: An Essential Tool in Overdenture placement
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure which aims at removal of periodontal tissue to increase the clinical crown height and reestablishing the biologic width. It helps to meet both restorative and aesthetic demands of the patient. The clinician needs to have a sound knowledge of the biological width, indications, technique as well as limitations regarding crown lengthening. Taking into account of all these biological factors, crown lengthening can be carried out in a controlled and predictable manner as part of an overall treatment plan. Recently, crown lengthening procedures have become an integral component of the esthetic armamentarium and are utilized with increasing frequency to enhance the appearance and retention of restoration. This case report discusses about the surgical crown lengthening of attrited teeth for adequate prosthetic restoration.
