Crown Lengthening Using Light Amplification By Stimulated Emission of Radiation
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Gingival tissues have a significant impact on the outcome of restorative therapy. Crown lengthening is a procedure which involves partial removal of supporting periodontal structures, to increase exposure of tooth structure. It is indicated in cases such as inadequate clinical crown height , subgingival caries, fracture ,unequal gingival heights. Lasers were introduced into the field of clinical dentistry with the hope of overcoming some of the drawbacks associated with conventional methods. Laser assisted tissue ablation results in adequate exposure of crown with reduced bleeding, thereby allowing the clinician to immediately place the final restoration .This case report describes aesthetic crown lengthening in right maxillary anterior tooth region using diode laser
