Background: In order to restore severely attrited teeth properly, surgical intervention in the form of a crown-lengthening procedure may be required. And also, proper diagnosis and treatment sequencing is critical to obtain a successful results. Adequate diagnostic wax-up ensures good esthetics and healthy periodontal tissue.
Case Description: This clinical case report describes a diagnostically based protocol for restoration on mandibular anterior teeth with crown lengthening procedure and the treatment of partially edentulous mandible combined with an edentulous maxilla. In addition, the effort to prevent the combination syndrome was described.
Clinical Implication: An interdisciplinary diagnosis and examination through visualization of the desired results ensure conservative and more predictable outcome.

Introduction: In recent years, erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) and erbium, chromium/yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) lasers have been introduced as another possibility to perform less-invasive flapless (FL) crown-lengthening (CL) procedures.
Objectives: The aim of this review is to describe the outcomes and complications of this approach.
Materials And Methods: A literature review was conducted to retrieve clinical studies and case reports that analyze different variables related to laser-assisted flapless crown lengthening and report their outcomes in terms of gingival margin level stability (GMLS), and postoperative complications.

The main principles of management of children with root fractures of permanent teeth in the coronal third are presented using two clinical cases as an example. In the treatment of root fractures in the coronal third, an important condition for success is timely flexible or semi-flexible splinting of the tooth for a sufficiently long period (up to 4 months). In the absence of splinting or significant mobility of the coronal fragment after removal of the splint the probability of pulp necrosis is very high, and the method of choice is treatment with calcium silicate cements with their introduction by orthograde or surgical access.

Background: Preservation of a healthy periodontium is critical for the long-term success of restored teeth. In cases of extensive caries, tooth fracture, inadequate crown length, and increased esthetic demands, the restorative margins need to be placed apical to the gingival margin. Violation of the biological width due to dental trauma frequently appears in clinical practice.

Clinical crown lengthening is a surgical procedure that involves the manipulation of gingival tissue, designed to expose sound tooth structure for restorative purposes by apically repositioning the gingival tissue, with or without the removal of alveolar bone. Crown lengthening may be subdivided as functional or esthetic, according to the purpose of treatment. Functional crown lengthening pertains to the exposure of subgingival caries, fractures, or to avoid invading the biologic width.

Article Synopsis
- - Four patients aged 33 to 68 presented with periapical lesions requiring periodontal surgery prior to getting prosthetics, each displaying different dental issues such as retained intraradicular devices and fistulas.
- - Treatment involved coronal lengthening and apical surgery for the first three patients, while the fourth patient underwent apical surgery and implant placement with successful results, indicated by bone filling of the lesions in follow-up checks.
- - The study suggests that combining periodontal and endodontic surgeries into one procedure is beneficial as it can lower costs, minimize appointments, reduce medication, and decrease post-surgical complications.
