Abstract
Conventional crown lengthening procedures can be invasive, involving full-thickness flaps and ostectomies,contributing to patient burden and prolonged healing. This article introduces a minimally invasive crownlengthening technique using a multipurpose dental ultrasonic device. The method comprises gingivectomyunder infiltration anesthesia, followed by a closed-flap, ultrasonically guided osteotomy. An esthetic gingivalline, pre-designed to respect biological width, guides the precise osseous recontouring. Key advantagesinclude minimal debridement, typically no sutures, leading to predictable outcomes, simplified postoperativemanagement, and reduced patient morbidity. This ultrasonic-assisted technique presents a reliable, lessinvasive alternative for achieving optimal gingival contours.
