title: Prosthesis-periodontics relationship. 2. Increase of clinical crown and surgery for prosthetic purposes.
abstract: One of the most useful procedures in periodontal surgery for prosthetic purposes is the technique of clinical crown increase. However, the technique is not yet fully understood, especially by general dental clinicians who also work in periodontics. In the present study, in addition to a description of the technique, its indications are discussed and the reasons for choosing it as the most appropriate procedure are analyzed.
