No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In this randomized clinical trial, the investigators are comparing two different approaches for Esthetic crown lengthening- a minimally invasive approach using piezoelectric (PZ) and a traditional open flap approach (OF).

Conditions

  • Altered Passive Eruption of Teeth

Interventions

PROCEDURE

ECL- mPZ

Flapless Technique using Piezoelectric (PZ): Gingivectomy and intra-sulcular incision will be carried out to remove strip of outlined marginal gingiva. However, no flap will be reflected the osseous recontouring will be carried using special piezoelectric tip below gingival margin. The required distance between the bone crest and the gingival margin will be checked by inserting a periodontal probe into the incision below gingival margin.

PROCEDURE

ECL-OF

Open Flap Technique (OF): Gingivectomy and intra-sulcular incision will be carried out to remove strip of outlined marginal gingiva. Full mucoperiosteal flap will be elevated to preform ostectomy and/or osteoplasty until the desired distance achieved between the bone crest and the gingival margin. After achieving the new supracrestal distance, the flap will be sutured.
