title: Restoration of the severely decayed tooth using crown lengthening with simultaneous tooth-preparation.
abstract: This clinical case describes a treatment approach that combines, in a single appointment, a crown lengthening procedure and the final crown preparation for the restoration of a severely decayed tooth. This approach allows for a more accurate placement of the crown margin in relation to the bone crest while reducing treatment time.
