Abstract
ABSTRACT
For obtaining adequate retention for restoring cases like subgingival caries or
extensive caries that shortens the tooth, short clinical crown, and fractures, it is
usually necessary to disclose more tooth structure. Crown lengthening procedure
is done to increase the clinical crown length for restorative or esthetic reasons
without breaching the biologic width. These procedures are also utilized to improve
the appearance and retention of restorations placed within the esthetic zone. We
report a case of crown lengthening surgery with an internal bevel gingivectomy
which was done in our department without compromising tooth support and
esthetics.
