Esthetic Crown Lengthening: A Review
Journal Title: Journal of Dental Health and Oral Research - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Esthetic Crown lengthening involves surgical procedures utilized to increase clinical tooth crown height, address uneven gingival margins and excess gingival display and correct gingival overgrowth. Excessive gingival display known as “Gummy Smiles” can occur for a number of reasons including altered passive eruption, high lip line, hypermobile upper lip and maxillary vertical excess. The goal of this article is to provide a review on Esthetic Crown lengthening.
