Objective: to present a 12-month follow-up with photographic and tomographic analyses of the effect of polymethyl methacrylate-based bone cement graft (PMMA) in gingival exposure (GE) in patients with excessive gingival display (EGD).
Methods: Twelve patients with EGD were included. The PMMA was surgically placed.
Objectives: To evaluate the stability of periodontal tissues 3 (T), 6 (T), and 12 (T) months after esthetic crown lengthening (ACL) and the possible correlations between changes in those structures.
Materials And Methods: Twenty individuals were evaluated through clinical assessment, photography, and tomography. Measurements included gingival margin (GM), clinical crown length (CCL), interdental papilla height (PH) and width (PW), gingival thickness (GT), bone thickness (BT), probing depth (PD), distance between alveolar crest and GM, distance between alveolar crest and cementoenamel junction.
