Effect of patient- and surgery-related factors on supracrestal tissue reestablishment after crown lengthening procedure (original) (raw)

Quintessence international, 2019

Abstract

OBJECTIVES The standard application of a mean value of 2.04 mm for the biologic width has been demonstrated to result in inconsistent amounts of tooth extension following a crown lengthening procedure. Biologic width has been replaced by the supracrestal gingival tissue dimension, which includes the biologic width and sulcular depth. The question whether supracrestal gingival tissue dimension established at tissue maturation following a crown lengthening procedure is not significantly different from the presurgical dimension has not been fully answered. The primary objectives of the present prospective clinical study were to compare the preoperative and the 24-week dimensions of supracrestal gingival tissue following a crown lengthening procedure and assess the alterations in gingival margin position. A secondary objective was to assess selected patient- and surgery-related factors on supracrestal gingival tissue reestablishment. METHOD AND MATERIALS Twenty adult systemically health...
