Description of the case<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esthetic crown lengthening: Female, 19 years of age, with no medical history of interest or harmful habits, presenting excessive gingival exposure upon smiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an intraoral scan and cone-beam computerized tomography, a customized periodontal surgical guide was co-designed with Avinent<\/a> using the DentalCad (Exocad) software. The polyamide device manufactured by Avinent presented an inner cutting area corresponding to the future cervical gingival margin, and an outer area that indicated the maximum ostectomy to be performed.Esthetic crown lengthening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incisions were made with an internal bevel of 1.5 to 2.5 respecting the indications of the surgical guide. Then the device was removed to finish edging the tissues with a diode laser. Then a full-thickness gingival flap was opened, the guide was repositioned, and the osteoplasty and ostectomy were carried out following the outer cutting area (3 mm from the amelocementary line up to the crestal bone). Finally, the papillae were sutured with vertical mattress sutures. No intra- or post-operative complications were reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clinical follow-up at 4 months showed complete tissue stability, as well as the balance and harmony of the smile. The patient’s desired esthetic result had been achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
