Esthetic crown lengthening




Esthetic crown lengthening

Key points to the technique

1. Identify pre-op the location of the CEJ
2. Remove exostosis and festoon the bone for better soft tissue adaptation
3. Establish the 2mm biologic zone around the teeth
4. Apically position the flap to desired position, if necessary perform gingivectomy
(gingivectomy can be performed if zone of attached gingival is adequate)
5. inform the patient prior to the procedure that a secondary minor gingivectomy/plasty might be needed
