Abstract:
Functional and aesthetic crown lengthening allows clinicians to reshape gingival and osseous contours to meet restorative and smile-related needs. This presentation outlines a streamlined approach to evaluating biologic width, tissue proportions, and case-specific demands to guide sound clinical decisions. Through thoughtful recontouring and preservation of periodontal health, crown lengthening can reliably improve access, enhance esthetics, and support durable restorative outcomes.
