Laser-Assisted Minimally Invasive Esthetic Crown Lengthening Using Flapless vs. Tunneled Flap Approach

Crown lengthening surgery is one of the most commonly performed periodontal procedures. Multiple techniques have been used throughout the years to overcome the postoperative pain and adverse outcomes that may be associated with surgical crown lengthening. One of the most popular choices among clinicians is using different types of lasers in different techniques to overcome those adverse effects. Treatment effectiveness can be monitored non-invasively through salivary levels of Leukocyte Esterase enzyme and the stability clinical outcomes.

Digital Versus Conventional Guided Gingivectomy

The goal of this randomized controlled clinical study is to compare Fully digital to conventional guided Gingivectomy procedure in management of excessive gingival display caused by altered passive eruption type 1A. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the fully digital guided gingivectomy approach able to introduce a more precise, accuracy and reliability technique with more patient satisfaction compared to the conventional guided method?

Gummy Smile and Altered Passive Eruption Prevalence

This observational epidemiological study aims to assess the prevalence of gummy smile and altered passive eruption in a young adult population, with a focus on the second sextant. Periodontal and aesthetic parameters, along with patient-reported discomfort, will be analyzed to identify potential correlations and underlying anatomical factors.

Clinical Evaluation of Gingivalstat Approach Compared to Conventional Esthetic Crown Lengthening on the Stability of The Gingival Margin in Patients With Altered Passive Eruption.

When performing crown lengthening surgery, especially in the esthetic zone, the positional stability of gingival tissues is considered a prime important goal. The rebound of gingival margins after surgery can result in compromising the esthetic outcome and patient satisfaction. It was proven throughout the literature that there are many factors that may influence the stability of gingival margin position after surgery such as: the surgical technique being performed, experience of the clinician, periodontal phenotype and distance of flap with respect to the alveolar crest.
