Esthetic Rehabilitation through Crown Lengthening Surgery and Conservative CAD/CAM Veneers: A Multidisciplinary Case Report

Abstract: This case report describes a successful multidisciplinary approach used to improve the smile esthetics of a patient presenting with excessive gingival display, asymmetric gingival margins, and small upper anterior teeth and lower anterior teeth. The treatment combined esthetic crown lengthening, dental bleaching, and restorative dentistry using CAD/CAM veneer. The 6-month follow-up examination confirmed the stability of the modification and absence of adverse effects.

“…The expectation of an aesthetically harmonious smile increases the level of difficulty when treating patients. Laminate veneers stand out as a treatment option for cosmetic rehabilitation in clinical practice, as they are a more conservative procedure and mimic dental structures (11). Very often aesthetically harmonious smile requires surgical interventions like crown lengthening procedures with or without osseous resection to reduce the amount of the exposed gingiva and to increase the clinical crowns.…”

In addition to adding value to users and safety to results, since the system eliminates many steps in the traditional process of prosthetic preparation, such as molding, measurements and use of temporary in some specific situations [5].…”

“…Excessive gingival display may be caused by lots of factors such as, altered passive eruption, anterior dento alveolar extrusion, vertical maxillary excess, short upper lip and hyperactive elevator muscles. Many treatment modalities have been advocated for treatment of excessive gum exposure, these of which includes aesthetic crown lengthening 5 , intrusion of the maxillary teeth 7 , Jaw adjustment surgery 8 , neurotoxin injections and lip repositioning surgery 9,10 . (Table1) Rubinstein and Kostianovsky introduced the lip repositioning surgery as a part of medical plastic surgery in 1973 11 ; later on the original technique was modified by Rosenblatt and Simon in 2006 12 and was introduced in the field of oro facial surgery.…”
