Surgical Guide
The use of lasers with a “closed approach” was contraindicated in this
case due to the irregular osseous anatomy and presence of buccal bony
ledges. Due to the extensive zone of keratinized gingiva, it was possible
to utilize submarginal incisions without causing a mucogingival deformity. Full thickness buccal and palatal flaps were raised to expose and
recontour the osseous architecture accordingly in order to provide
a harmonious anatomy and adequate space for the biologic width.
5-0 Vicryl vertical sutures utilized for closure.

RESULTS
Provisional restorations were utilized for 3 months to allow proper healing
and maturation of the periodontium before cementing the final all ceramic
crowns.
Occlusal analysis and adjustment with delivery of a maxillary occlusal nightguard was utilized to protect the dentition and address parafunctional habits.
The interdisciplinary periodontal/restorative approach was able to meet the
patient’s expectations and obtain a result that is compatible with health,
comfort, function and esthetics.
