Purpose: To study the effect of full crown ultrasound preparation on crown margin.
Methods: Thirty-two patients with 35 units of full crown were randomly divided into 2 groups. Teeth in the experimental group were prepared with ultrasound diamond instrument while teeth in the control group were prepared with a high-speed hand piece with regular diamond burs.

Purpose: To evaluate the 3-D surface topography of ultrasonically prepared tooth.
Methods: Ten extracted human maxillary premolars were prepared for crowns. A split-tooth model was used to refine the margins: half of the margin was finished with traditional rotary instruments, the other with ultrasonic instruments.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical effect of the teeth with subgingivally involved defect which were conserved by crown lengthening surgery.
Methods: 62 teeth, with defect subgingivally from 1.5 mm to 4 mm, mobility degree(MD)= I degree, appropriate proportion between crown and root, underwent crown lengthening surgery by combining flap surgery and osteoectomy, and restored 4 weeks after operation and followed-up for one year.
