Summary

Crown lengthening surgery can restore tooth height lost to wear. This restorative therapy helps when attrition, abrasion, or erosion affects teeth, improving dental restoration outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Restorative Dentistry
  • Periodontology

Background:

  • Extensive tooth wear from attrition, abrasion, and erosion can reduce clinical crown height.
  • This reduction poses challenges for restorative therapy, potentially affecting aesthetics and function.
  • Restorative treatment of the worn dentition is increasingly reported in dental literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and explain the concept of crown lengthening surgery.
  • To highlight its role as an adjunct to restorative therapy for worn dentition.
  • To address the clinical problem of reduced clinical crown height due to tooth wear.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical crown lengthening procedure.
  • Assessment of clinical crown height.
  • Restorative therapy planning.

Main Results:

  • Increased clinical crown height achieved.
  • Improved conditions for restorative procedures.
  • Restoration of function and aesthetics in worn dentition.

Conclusions:

  • Crown lengthening surgery is a valuable technique for managing worn dentition.
  • It effectively increases clinical crown height, facilitating restorative treatments.
  • This surgical approach addresses a significant clinical challenge in restorative dentistry.
