Summary
This study introduces a digital surgical crown lengthening double guide for improved dental esthetics. This innovative tool enhances diagnosis, treatment predictability, and patient comfort through precise tissue management and digital follow-up.
Area of Science:
- Periodontal Surgery
- Digital Dentistry
- Esthetic Dentistry
Background:
- Rehabilitation of anterior dental esthetics requires interdisciplinary, facially driven planning for long-term success.
- Surgical crown lengthening is a common periodontal procedure.
- Digital tools can enhance surgical planning and patient follow-up.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a digitally obtained surgical crown lengthening double guide.
- To improve diagnosis, treatment outcomes, and follow-up in periodontal surgery.
- To facilitate precise hard and soft tissue management for esthetic goals.
Main Methods:
- Development and application of a digital surgical crown lengthening double guide.
- Utilizing digital tools for facially driven treatment planning.
- Implementing digital quality control for pre-operative and post-operative comparisons.
Main Results:
- The double guide enables precise management of hard and soft tissues.
- Digital quality control facilitates effective follow-up against the treatment plan.
- Digital tools lead to more predictable, less invasive procedures.
Conclusions:
- The digital double guide aids in achieving predefined esthetic goals based on biological and facial parameters.
- Digital tools enhance communication among the dental team and with the patient.
- This approach results in reduced postoperative inflammation and increased patient comfort.
