This is the second paper in this two-part series. Paper one provided an overview of managing gingival tissue excess and paper two will focus on increasing clinical crown height to facilitate restorative treatment. Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure aimed at the removal of gingival tissue with or without adjunctive bone removal. The different types of procedure undertaken will be discussed over the two papers. In order to provide predictable restorations, care must be taken to ensure the integrity of the margins. If this is not taken into account it can lead to an impingement on the biologic width, which may in turn lead to chronic inflammation resulting in recession or the development of periodontal problems which can be hard to manage. Clinical Relevance: This paper aims to reinforce the need for thorough diagnosis and treatment planning and provides an overview of the various procedures that can be undertaken.
