Abstract

Crown lengthening procedures are an essential aspect of periodontal therapy in order to gain ideal restorative and aesthetic treatment outcomes. These are considered as the gold standard in treating insufficient clinical crown height, not only for addressing aesthetic concerns, but also to maintain a stable periodontium. These procedures are performed by gingivectomy, flap surgery or a combination of surgical and non-surgical modalities. This case series demonstrates the various clinical scenarios where crown lengthening is the treatment of choice. It also demonstrates the type of crown lengthening to be done in viz., adequate or a lack of biologic width and apically positioned or undisplaced flap.
