Eligibility

Sex/Gender
All
Age
18 Years to No maximum

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age greater than or equal to 18 years 2. Presence with Type IB altered passive eruption, need of crown lengthening under scalloped internal bevel with osseous reduction technique, in maxillary anterior and premolar region. The future restorative treatment is not required. 3. Plaque score less than 40% 4. No clinically significant systemic disease compromised clinical outcome 5. Absence of conditions requiring antibiotic prophylaxis 6. No active orthodontic treatment 7. No probing depth and/or attachment loss (AL) more than 4 mm 8. Absence of pathologic tooth mobility or furcation involvement

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Final restorations of teeth e.g. crowns, veneers, are required after the crown lengthening procedure. 2. Presence of any contraindication to periodontal surgery 3. Need for crown lengthening on a tooth with adjacent missing teeth 4. Pregnant or lactating females 5. Current smokers or former smokers 6. Treated with antimicrobial and/or anti-inflammatory drugs within two months prior to entering the study

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
gingival margin changes at baseline and at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months following surgery compare gingival margin changes as measured by clinical periodontal probing and digital intraoral scanning

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
gingival margin changes at baseline and at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months following surgery evaluate the longitudinal changes in gingival margin position following esthetic crown lengthening surgery,levels of patient satisfaction, quality of life associated with esthetic crown lengthening surgery at baseline and at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months following surgery Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), Patient satisfaction questionnaire,anticipated pain levels at 24 hours, 48 hours, and 1 week following surgery visual analog scale (VAS) for pain
