Minimized Set for Surgical Crown Extension

Surgical crown extension can be meaningful or necessary for various reasons: medical indications include caries extending deeply underneath the gingiva, insufficient hold of existing crowns or fractures. If too much gingiva is visible (“gummy smile”) and the crown thus appears too short, surgical crown extension might be advisable for esthetic reasons. The minimized set includes a well-arranged set of optimum instruments, allowing for the gingival margin to be detached from the tooth along the entire width and the exposed alveolar bone to be carefully removed.
