Surgical crown lengthening is one of the most common surgical procedures in periodontal practice. It is divided into functional and esthetic surgical crown lengthening. In general, surgical crown lengthening is a predictable periodontal surgical procedure. Its most common complication is excessive regression of the dentoalveolar complex coronally. Esthetic surgical crown lengthening can be performed predictably through prior digital planning, minimizing the risk of potential complications such as excessive regression of the dentoalveolar complex coronally. The present study reported in this article is a clinical case of surgical crown lengthening with digital planning to derive practical recommendations.
