Crown Lengthening

Technique combining controlled eruptive TOOTH MOVEMENT TECHNIQUES and incision of the supracrestal gingival attachment to allow for proper restoration of a destroyed or damaged crown of a tooth. Controlled eruption of the tooth is obtained using ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCES. During this eruptive phase, repeated incisions are made at the junctional epithelium of the sulcus and the supracrestal connective tissue to prevent coronal displacement of the gingiva and of the attachment apparatus.

2.	Periodontitis 12/01/2022 - "For ex vivo testing, eight subjects with healthy periodontal tissues or with Stage II to IV periodontitis were included in the study and underwent crown-lengthening or periodontal surgical procedures, respectively. " 12/01/2008 - "To estimate the amount of supraosseous gingivae (SOG), the soft tissue height from the bone crest to the free gingival margin, that will reform after crown-lengthening surgery, dental professionals have relied on a histologic mean dimension of 3 mm. This figure was derived from an autopsy study, and it represents the average of a significant range of values, from 0.0 to 6.5 mm. Other studies provided information on SOG dimensions; however, it seems that no clinical study in individuals without a history of periodontitis or attachment loss has been made that included all tooth types in the maxillary and mandibular arches. " 07/01/2014 - "102 systemically healthy patients between the age group of 15 and 70 years reporting to the Department of Periodontology who required surgical intervention (flap surgery for patients with periodontitis and crown lengthening for healthy patients) with internal bevel gingivectomy were selected. " 05/10/2012 - "Fifteen subjects were referred for crown lengthening, and another 15 subjects required flap surgery because of severe periodontitis. " 12/01/2000 - "Biopsies were obtained from 16 periodontitis patients undergoing periodontal surgery and from clinically healthy tissues of 5 patients having crown lengthening procedures. "
3.	Tooth Fractures 01/01/2012 - "Twenty (20) patients who needed surgical crown lengthening to gain retention necessary for prosthetic treatment and/or to access caries, tooth fracture, or previous prosthetic margins entered the study. " 04/01/2003 - "Twenty-three (23) patients who needed surgical crown lengthening to gain retention necessary for prosthetic treatment and/or to access caries, tooth fracture, or previous prosthetic margins entered the study. " 04/01/2008 - "Endodontic therapy is effective; however if crown lengthening is required because of subgingival caries or tooth fracture, thought needs to be given to removal of the tooth before altering the gingival topography. " 02/01/1978 - "Surgical crown lengthening should not be attempted when tooth fractures extend into the middle third of the root. "
4.	Nonvital Tooth (Endodontically-Treated Teeth) 06/01/2019 - "The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a crown lengthening (CL) procedure and the crown-root ratio after CL on the long-term survival of endodontically treated teeth (ETT). " 11/01/2007 - "This study investigated the effect of a crown-lengthening ferrule on the fracture resistance of endodontically-treated teeth restored with two dowel-core systems.

"
5.	Postoperative Pain 11/01/2014 - "The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of periodontal dressing on post-operative pain and swelling after surgical crown lengthening. " 09/01/2017 - "The study results showed no difference in use of Coe-PakTM dressing with and without propolis extract in terms of postoperative pain and healing process following the crown lengthening surgery.
