AESTHETIC CROWN LENGTHENING

Prabhakar Rao KV, Narendranath Reddy, Anitha B

Aesthetics is an inseparable part of today’s dental treatment and has influenced the management of dental maladies in varying degrees for many years. Patient awareness and expectations have increased recently to the point that less than optimal aesthetics are no longer an acceptable outcome. Achieving an appealing and an aesthetic smile is no longer a dream. In this article an attempt has been made to review the guidelines for treating a patient with excessive gingival display along with gingival pigmentation and its treatment modalities with illustrations from two case reports.
