Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Periodontology
  • Restorative Dentistry

Background:

  • Preserving the periodontium is essential for successful teeth restoration, impacting function and aesthetics.
  • Understanding the influence of restorative materials on periodontal tissues is vital.
  • Maintaining adequate gingival biological width (GBW) is a common challenge in restorative procedures.

Observation:

  • Difficulty in maintaining GBW can lead to inflammatory lesions in the marginal periodontium.
  • Ideal restorative margins are supragingival, at least 3 mm from the alveolar bone crest.
  • When ideal conditions aren't met, clinical crown elongation becomes a necessary treatment option.

Findings:

  • Clinical crown elongation, achieved through surgical or combined orthodontic-surgical methods, is a viable solution.
  • Surgical crown elongation is particularly effective for indirect restorations requiring increased crown height.
  • The study presents three clinical cases demonstrating the successful application of surgical crown elongation.

Implications:

  • Surgical crown elongation facilitates proper tooth crown reconstruction.
  • This procedure is critical for maintaining the health of the periodontium and preventing inflammatory conditions.
  • Successful application ensures predictable treatment outcomes and preserves the natural dentition.
