Abstract
ABSTRACT
The best way to enhance gingival health and minimize trauma is to avoid contact of the gingivae with restorative materials. Subgingival finish lines are not periodontally advantageous. Crown lengthening is a periodontal resective procedure, aimed at removing periodontal tissue support to increase the clinical crown height. Periodontal health is of paramount importance to understand the concept of biologic width, indications, techniques and other principles as well as some possible limitations. This article aims to discuss these concepts and its relationship to periodontal health and restorative dentistry. The importance of restorative margin location and contours related to periodontal health are also addressed in order that the restorative dentist can use crown lengthening as part of an overall treatment plan in a controlled and predictable manner, taking into account biological factors.
