Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The crown lengthening in the frontal aesthetic regions includes removal of the incorrectly
positioned gingiva and restoration of its margins, within acceptable limits for aesthetics. The crown lengthening
can be performed much simpler with the help of lasers. Starting from the fact that aesthetic smile is more demanded by patients, as well as due to the advantages that laser light has, the main goal was set - to make
an assessment of aesthetic effect of laser-assisted crown lengthening in the upper frontal region.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: The total number of subjects was 35. In order to fulfill the main goal, adequate
questionnaire for subjective assessment of the achieved aesthetics with the help of prosthetic restorations
by the patients was done. A small part of the questionnaire was done by the dentists who performed the
interventions for assessment of the achieved aesthetics.
RESULTS: Over ninety percent of the subjects indicated that with the help of the restorations, an improved
aesthetic effect it gained. Most of the subjects subjectively estimated that they had a significant improvement
in aesthetics, in contrast equal number of clinical doctors estimated that significant and a moderate
improvement in aesthetics were achieved.
CONCLUSION: Based on this research, we can conclude that usage of the laser in the clinical crown
lengthening procedures is characterized by a significantly improved aesthetics, assessed by the patients and
by the dentists.
