Abstract
The crown lengthening procedure (CLP) is routinely carried out to correct gingival levels and achieve esthetic contours and adequate crown lengths for restorative purposes. Though the short-term outcomes have been found to be stable, long-term results are not much reported.
To evaluate the long-term stability of the marginal bone levels, gingival levels, and the status of the teeth, which underwent endodontic therapy, followed by CLP and final restorations.
Institutional setting, long-term case series.
Case records of the patients who underwent CLP and endodontic therapy for corrections of the supra-erupted teeth to regain the lost interocclusal spaces were retrieved, and the cases with complete set of the clinical and radiographs were taken. All the cases were recalled and bone levels on the radiographs, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depths, and changes in the soft tissue margins were evaluated.
Descriptive analysis.
A total of 25 teeth had undergone CLP and endodontic therapy and final restorations for a minimum of 24 months. The mean post-restorative duration was 50.8 ± 22.48 months (range 24–96 months). All the teeth were functional and asymptomatic with 100% survival. Interdental bone loss of 1 mm, probing pockets of 5 mm, and 1 mm buccal recession were observed in 16% of the sites. The amount of interocclusal space regained was adequate to restore the missing teeth in the opposing arch.
The CLP is a predictive procedure for correction of supra-erupted teeth. The survival of the teeth that underwent the procedure in the present study was 100% over 24–96 months.

The exposure of tooth surface by apically displacing the gingival tissue and the bone margins facilitates placement of restorative margins on the sound tooth surface.

Kaldahl <italic>et al</italic>. reported that the marginal bone levels were stable with CLP and osteoectomy as compared to gingivectomy alone.[<xref rid="ref16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>] The success rate of the treatments in the present study was 98% as one of the teeth had developed a peri-apical radiolucency which is classified as a failure in endodontically; however, the endodontic success rate of 98% is similar to that reported in literature,[<xref rid="ref19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>] who reported a 96% success in vital teeth that had undergone endodontic treatment.</p><p>The furcation area bone loss was not observed in the present study, which indicates better outcomes and predicts longer survivability of the molar teeth that have undergone CLP; however, Dibart <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>] reported as much as 40% of the molars that underwent CLP had furcation involvement. This was observed in sites wherein the distance from the furcation entrance to the restorative margin is <4 mm.</p><p>Buccal gingival recession observed in the study and is attributable to the related to the oral hygiene practices. This is because the teeth, which had developed gingival recession at follow-up also, had cervical abrasion indicating faulty brushing technique.</p><p>Gingival overgrowth observed in the study is observed similar to that reported by van der Velden,[<xref rid="ref20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>] however, there are studies reporting no over growth and stability of the soft tissue margins.[<xref rid="ref9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref><xref rid="ref16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref><xref rid="ref17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref><xref rid="ref18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref><xref rid="ref20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref><xref rid="ref21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref><xref rid="ref22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref><xref rid="ref23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>] The gingival overgrowth is influenced by the tissue biotype, oral hygiene, achievement of steady state after a surgical injury, and response to the restorative material.</p><p>The tissue rebound after CLP is at 6–12 months postoperative is a common finding[<xref rid="ref22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref><xref rid="ref23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref><xref rid="ref24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref><xref rid="ref25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>] and is attributed to the time taken for re-establishment of a new supra-alveolar soft tissue complex. In the present study over a period of 24–96 months tissue rebound was not observed, as the tissues would have settled into a steady state.</p><p>The location of restorative margin and the restorative is one more factor that influences tissue rebound. The equi-gingival restorative margins in all the cases ensured that there was no irritation to the supra-alveolar tissues from the restoration and tissues levels remained stable.[<xref rid="ref20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>]</p><p>Radiographs have been successfully used to identify the bone levels.[<xref rid="ref26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>] A fixed reference point makes it easier to identify the pre- and post-operative bone levels. Thus in the present study, the radio-opaque margin of the crowns were used as the fixed reference points. The change in the bone levels in reference to the crown margins was easily identifiable.[<xref rid="ref26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>] Diniz[<xref rid="ref24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>] <italic>et al</italic>. in a 12-month study showed that the sites treated with CLP developed a lamina dura at 3 months as observed on radiographs, and no much change in the bone levels at was observed over a 12-month period.</p></sec><sec sec-type="conclusion" id="sec1-5"><title>CONCLUSION</title><p>It can be stated that teeth that have undergone endodontic therapy followed by CLP with osseous resection and final restorations with equi-gingival margins survive for over long duration of time with stable bone and soft tissue levels. These procedures can be predictably used to correct supra-erupted teeth and gaining the necessary interoccusal space for restorative purposes resulting favorable long-term restorative outcome.</p><sec
