VOLUME 5: Esthetic Crown Lengthening

To obtain harmonious gingival contours in the anterior jaw, esthetic crown lengthening may be indicated for natural or restored teeth. If a sufficient height of keratinized tissue is present, this is done by performing an external gingivectomy, either with or without ostectomy depending on the height of the dentogingival complex. If the width of the keratinized gingiva is insufficient, an apical repositioning flap is required. This volume presents the two approaches for esthetic crown lengthening.
