ABSTRACT
Objective@#To observe the long-term clinical treatment outcome and the influencing factors of the outcome for the teeth receiving modified crown lengthening surgery combined with root canal treatment and post-core crown restoration. To summarize the clinical guidelines of modified crown lengthening surgery in selection of indications and for mulation of treatment planning.@*Methods@#Fifty-seven patients with a total of 67 teeth receiving modified crown lengthening surgery combined with root canal treatment and post-core crown restoration for at least a 6 months' follow-up period between July 2004 and July 2013 were recruited in this retrospective study by phone call interviews. The patients' clinical outcomes were evaluated by the combination of clinical examination, radiograph and questionnaire regarding patient-reported outcome of the last follow up (≥9 months post modified crown lengthening surgery and ≥6 months after definite crown restorations). All of the treated teeth were classified into two groups, group A (teeth with good clinical treatment outcome) and group B (teeth with poor clinical treatment outcome), based on the defined criteria including patients' satisfaction with the function and esthetics of the teeth and absence of periodontal, endodontic and prosthodontic complications. The potential influencing factors of clinical treatment outcome were also determined by Logistic regression analysis.@*Results@#Vertical root fracture in 1 tooth was found on its periapical film and the tooth was deemed hopeless. Thus, the survival rate is 99% (66/67) for the multidisciplinary treatment approach. Seventy-two percent (48/67) of the teeth achieved good clinical treatment outcome and 28% (19/67) of the teeth developed one or several complications. In group B (teeth with poor clinical treatment), 16 out of teeth exhibited periodontal complications with bleeding on probing (BOP) positive mostly found. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that plaque control (OR=21.392, P=0.014), edge form (OR=7.610, P=0.011), and smoking experience (OR=7.315, P=0.018) were the risk factors influencing the clinical treatment outcome of modified crown lengthening surgery combined with root canal treatment and post-core restoration.@*Conclusions@#Modified crown lengthening surgery combined with root canal treatment and post-core restoration has a good and stable clinical effect in the observational time of 6-114 months. Plaque control, smoking status and edge form of the tooth appeared to be the influencing factors of this multidisciplinary treatment approach.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: The crown lengthening surgery and the transurgical restoration are alternative procedures to enable the restoration of teeth inaccessible to the conventional techniques and restore the lost biological space. Objective: This study aimed to present clinically the reconstruction of a right maxillary second molar through crown lengthening surgery associated with transurgical restoration with composite resin in a patient treated in the Integrated Clinics of the University of Ribeirão Preto. Case report: Patient E.H.C.V., female, aged 51 years, attended the dental clinic of the University of Ribeirão Preto. The anamnesis showed a favorable health history and the clinical examination showed great tooth crown destruction of tooth #17. The treatment planning included the crown lengthening periodontal surgery with regularization of alveolar bone on the buccal surface of tooth #17, rubber dam isolation, the restauration of the compromised area with composite resin, and suture in the same session. After 7 days, the sutures were removed and the restoration polished. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the use of this technique is a viable, fast, and satisfactory solution, with good results, favoring the health and aesthetics, returning function and better social life to the patient.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effects of crown lengthening surgery by apically repositioned flap for the treatment of the teeth with inadequate width of attached gingiva. Methods:17 teeth with inadequate width of attached gingiva were included. The gingiva flap was repositioned apically. The distance between gingival margin to the root surface was recorded, the width of attached gingiva and other indicators were compared before and 6 months after surgery. Results:Edge of the defects the 17 teeth was below gingiva margin before surgery, root surface was exposed to the coronal gingival margin 6 months after surgery in 16 of the 17 cases (94. 11%). Api-cally displacement distance of the gingival margin was (3. 88 ± 0. 49) mm. The width of attached gingiva before and 6 months after sur-gery was (2.35 ±0.61) mm and (2.65 ±0.49) mm respectively(P>0.05). Conclusion: Crown lengthening with apically reposi-tioned flap surgery can effectively expose the root surface and create conditions for restoration of dental defects for teeth with inadequate attached gingiva, and can prevent over removal of the keratinized gingiva.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the application of root angioplasty in the crown lengthening surgery. Methods A total of 80 patients that corresponding to criteria from January 2013 to December 2015 in repair outpatients of our hospital were selected and received retrospec-tive study,and they were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group according to different surgical methods with 40 ca-ses in each group. The observation group was given root angioplasty and crown lengthening surgery,while the control group was only given crown lengthening surgery. Check-up was performed at 6 weeks postoperatively and 3 weeks after restoration,the condition of root surface cov-ered by the gum,the condition of gingival recession of the restoration and the subjective satisfaction of the patients were observed. Results The average coverage of the observation group was 91. 3%,which was significantly more than 55. 3% of the control group (P<0. 05). The a-mount of the gum covering of the observation group was (3.1 ±1.3)mm,which was significantly larger than (1.9 ±1.0)mm of the control group(P<0. 05). Conclusion Root angioplasty can guarantee blood supply,reduce the damage,but the indication range is small,and it is influenced by many factors,and needs to incorporate the ideas of all sides when used in clinic.

Purpose: To describe a series of cases that, for different reasons, required crown lengthening surgery, dental preparation, and definitive dental impression performed in thesame appointment on pillar teeth for fixed dental prosthesis. Methods: This study reports a series of 20 patients who required definitive rehabilitation treatment in a small numberof appointments due to disability, mouth opening shortness, short stay in town, medicalcondition, or apprehensiveness. Patients underwent crown lengthening surgery, dental preparation,and definitive dental impression in non-aesthetic areas in the same appointment.When it was necessary, root canal and restoration with posts were carried out. Results:There were not postsurgical complications other than the usual localized periodontal inflammation,pain, and bleeding. Conclusion: There were no complications in the treatedcases. This clinical approach is recommended in cases where crown lengthening surgery,dental preparation and definite dental impressions in the same appointment are indicated...
