Abstract
This case report describes a successful multidisciplinary approach used to
preserve the existing tooth structure supporting both hard and soft tissues. The applied
approach improved the smile aesthetics of a young female patient with excessively
decayed crowns, asymmetric mesio-distal width, and unequal gingival margins of the
maxillary anterior teeth. The combined treatment of aesthetic crown lengthening,
frenectomy, and restorative dentistry were conducted using zirconia computer-aided
design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) crowns. Clinical findings after
a 2-year follow-up period confirmed the stability of the gingival margins and absence
of adverse effects, such widening of the periodontal ligaments.
