Functional Crown lengthening in mandibular premolar with multiple mucogingival deformities - A Case Report
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 12
Abstract
Surgical crown lengthening is a procedure that resects periodontal tissues to increase clinical crown height and reestablishes biologic width. This may be performed for esthetic or for functional purposes. The preservation of a healthy periodontium is essential for the long term success of a restored tooth. It is however important that while undertaking this procedure, its impact to the underlying periodontal tissues be appropriately understood by the periodontist as well as the restorative dentist. This case report discusses the management of a tooth with subgingivally extended caries and with inadequate width of attached gingiva. This case highlights the multiple factors that are to be considered and suggests an appropriate management of this complex interdisciplinary problem.
