- Abstract
"The world is governed more by appearances than by realities." The gingival complex plays a vital role in the overall beauty of a smile. To successfully achieve aesthetic and functional results, the dentist must be able to precisely predict the treatment outcome based on biologic determinants. There are a variety of procedures used for crown lengthening. In this article we describe two cases in which surgical crown lengthening was done to improve patient aesthetics and results obtained were promising.
