  • Title: Clinical crown lengthening in the esthetic zone.
    Author: Camargo PM, Melnick PR, Camargo LM.
    Journal: J Calif Dent Assoc; 2007 Jul; 35(7):487-98. PubMed ID: 17915591.
    Abstract:
    Periodontal surgical procedures consisting of gingival flaps and osseous recontouring are indicated for crown lengthening of several contiguous teeth in the esthetic zone; both in cases where restorations are required and in cases where no restorations are planned, such as in patients with excessive gingival display due to altered passive eruption. Forced tooth eruption via orthodontic extrusion is the technique of choice when clinical crown lengthening is necessary on isolated teeth in the esthetic zone.
