Short clinical crowns often lead to poor retention form, leading to improper tooth preparation. Crown lengthening is carried out to increase the clinical crown length without violating the biologic width. Several techniques have been proposed for crown lengthening such as gingivectomy procedures. A Cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in a university, on randomly selected individuals. The study group consisted of patients getting treated at the Department of Prosthodontics from June 2019 – March 2020. 86,000 case sheets were reviewed, and samples were selected using simple random sampling. The two variables were compared using the chi-square test. Laser gingivectomy was the most common 55.9% form of crown lengthening procedure. Awareness of crown lengthening was found more among postgraduates at 78.7%. Among all the departments, crown lengthening was required more for periodontal procedures 42.3%. In this era of quickly developing technologies and innovative ideas, the requirement for faster treatment has not only become a requirement but a necessity. Treatment with lasers is well accepted by patients as it is less time-consuming and painless. Lasers have taken over a lot of procedures so is crown lengthening. Postgraduates know more about crown lengthening and hence do in more number of cases. There are various reasons to get crown lengthening done with periodontitis being the most common specialty for its need.

“…A number of cases have been successfully treated with laser in dentistry, which is shown in Table 1 . [2][3][4][5][6] Lasers that can be used for excision include the CO2 laser, the Erbium: YAG laser, the Neodymium: YAG laser, and the diode laser. 7 The advantages of laser therapy include minimal bleeding, decreased post-operative pain, faster wound healing, no edema, and the exclusion of sutures.…”

In the realm of dentistry, lasers make it possible to administer numerous treatment modalities more effectively, leading to successful outcomes in the majority of cases. Numerous applications of lasers in general practice and implantology have been shown to be more efficient than traditional ones. Dental professionals are better able to choose the ideal wavelength and mode for various patients during clinical procedures when they have a complete understanding of lasers, their features, and mechanisms of action. Lasers have been used in a variety of therapeutic modalities, including pain management, the removal of soft tissue lesions, crown lengthening, sulcus uncovering operations in implantology, etc. This article shows the application of diode lasers successfully in various dental treatment procedures.

“…Aesthetic usually consider treatment of short clinical crowns, improving gingival symmetry, correcting uneven gingival margins and modifying hyperplastic tissue overgrowth. 18 The aesthetic procedure could be performed using traditional scalpel surgical procedures or lasers. Precision, sterilization, bloodless surgical and post-surgical course, no need for sutures, less pain and swelling and better prognosis are advantages of lasers over traditional surgeries.…”

Introduction: Laser technology as a new modality in dentistry has gained special attention. Among different types of lasers, erbium lasers have gained special attention for management of oral soft and hard tissue simultaneously. This study presents series of cases of crown lengthening (CL) and restorations accomplished by erbium, chromium: yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG). Case Reports: Seven patients were selected for this study. After complete oral examination and diagnosis, the treatment plan of each patient was designed. All cases needed esthetic CL. In some cases, frenum revision and class V cavity preparation was done by Er;Cr:YSGG laser. All patients treated with Er;Cr:YSGG laser producing a wavelength of 2780 nm (Biolase, Irvine, California, USA); Tip T4, 400 µm Diameter for soft tissue management and Tip G6, 6 mm long, 600 µm diameter for hard tissue management. Results: All patients reflected acceptable results based on clinical evaluation and patients’ declaration of post-surgical status. Conclusion: Using Er;Cr:YSGG laser in class v cavity preparation and flapless CL seemed to be effective and beneficial.
