“…To enhance hard and soft tissue healing and for functional and esthetic reasons, the cervical portion of temporary crowns has to be modified after surgery by resin adjunction [12,14]. In the reported case, the temporary crown margin was modified during the surgery and it seems that the resin fused underneath the mucosa during crown modifications.…”

Key words: surgical crown lengthening / iatrogenic foreign body / temporary crown / periodontal surgery / oral surgery Abstract -Iatrogenic foreign bodies located in the cheeks may appear after traumatic injuries or plastic surgery procedures using skin fillers. Located in the oral mucosa or in the periodontium, this pathological situation is rarely reported in the literature and usually follows diverse traumatisms, iatrogenic or not. A new case report is presented in which a resin mass was discovered in the lower vestibule after a preprosthetic periodontal surgery and temporary crown adjustment. Clinical examination and computed tomography were not specific and diagnosis was made only after surgical excision of the resin material. This case highlights that temporary crown lengthening should be adapted several days after surgery to prevent resin fusing into soft tissue.

“…The original contour of the cementoenamel junction must be kept in mind when preparing teeth for full-coverage restorations, so that the resulting margin will be in harmony with the osseous architecture (22,23). The margins on the mesial and distal aspects of the anterior teeth must be coronal to the labial and lingual aspects, with the magnitude of these differences depending on the patient's gingival morphotype (flat, scalloped, or pronounced scalloping).…”

Use of a Surgical Guide in a Crown-Lengthening Procedure to Improve the Aesthetics of the Interdental Papillae: A Case Report

Aim: This case report describes the use of a surgical guide in a crown-lengthening procedure to improve the aesthetics of the anterior interdental papillae in an adult female patient. Methodology: A 40-year-old female underwent a crownlengthening procedure with guidance provided by a surgical template to correct unsatisfactory aesthetics in the anterior gingiva and prosthesis. Results: The patient's functional and aesthetic expectations were met successfully with interdisciplinary treatment, including surgical crown lengthening and the placement of all-ceramic restorations. Conclusions: This case showed that satisfactory anterior aesthetics can be achieved by comprehensive examination, careful planning of treatment employing a surgical guide, and prosthodontist-periodontist teamwork, even in the complete absence of interdental papillae.(Int Dent Res 2012;2(3): [75][76][77][78][79][80]

This article presents an innovative approach to crown lengthening that offers predictable esthetics and harmonious bone and gingival contours. Following fabrication of the diagnostic wax-up, a provisional fixed prosthesis is constructed. At the time of provisional insertion, the tooth, marginal gingiva, and crestal bone are prepared with rotary instruments using a prosthetic template as a guide. This procedure is known as guided soft and hard tissue preparation. The provisional is then inserted, thus invading the biologic width. Within no more than 2 weeks, bone resective surgery is performed to recreate normal biologic width. A well-defined preparation margin acts as a guide during the osteoplasty procedure, which is used to reestablish the correct distance between the crown margin and crestal bone. A total of 10 patients in need of crown lengthening have been treated with this procedure, and 1-to 7-year follow-ups have shown good esthetic results and stable tissue levels.
