title: Orthodontic crown lengthening.
abstract: As comprehensive dentistry becomes more complex, procedures must be developed to save teeth once considered unsuitable for crown restoration due to inaccessible finishing lines. Orthodontic crown lengthening is less invasive than a flap procedure and does not result in crestal bone reduction. The crown lengthening procedure is a simple and time-saving remedy for a difficult restorative problem.
