ABSTRACT
Smile aesthetics refers to the visual appearance of a person's smile, taking into account factors such as tooth size, tooth shape, tooth colour, gum line and overall symmetry. The goal of smile aesthetics is to create a natural, beautiful smile that complements the individual's facial features and enhances their overall appearance. Dentists often work on smile aesthetics to help their patients achieve a more attractive and confident smile. Periodontal procedures can also be used to improve gum esthetics and enhance the appearance of the smile. This case report presents a case of esthetic crown lengthening by electrosurgery. Procedure was performed under local anaesthesia and proved to be safe and efficient with no post-operative complication and healing was uneventful, following 2 months.
Key words: Crown Lengthening procedure (CLP), Smile esthetics, Electrosurgery unit, Biologic width.
