The dentogingival junction and periodontal ligament perform unique functions. The former makes a seal where a tooth punctures the integument; the latter, nominally a ligament, cushions the tooth during mastication, while sheltering the delicate cells which remodel the bony socket. A special feature of both tissues is the rapid turnover of their major components.

Three-dimensional organotypic models benefit from the ability to mimic physiological cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions and therefore offer superior models for studying pathological or physiological conditions compared to 2D cultures. Organotypic models consisting of keratinocytes supported by fibroblasts embedded in collagen matrices have been utilised for the study of oral conditions. However, the provision of a suitable model for investigating the pathogenesis of periodontitis has been more challenging.

Objective: To evaluate the type of wound healing following modified crown lengthening surgery in dog model to provide a biological basis for its clinical application.
Methods: Flap surgery, traditional crown lengthening procedure and modified crown lengthening procedure were performed on the right maxillary central incisor, the left maxillary central incisor and the left maxillary first lateral incisor respectively of five male beagle dogs. The right maxillary first lateral incisors with no surgical intervention were used as controls.
