Comparison of Dual Digitally Guided vs Conventional Crown Lengthening (DIGICROWN)
Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating Digital Dual Surgical Guide in Esthetic Crown Lengthening
This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the clinical performance and patient-centered outcomes of dual digitally guided crown lengthening compared to the conventional surgical technique in the management of gummy smile caused by altered passive eruption (Type B1).
A total of 18 patients will be randomly allocated into two groups: the control group will undergo conventional crown lengthening based on clinical measurements, while the intervention group will receive crown lengthening using a dual digitally fabricated surgical guide.
The primary outcome is the gain in clinical crown length at 3 months. Secondary outcomes include operating time, pain perception, patient satisfaction, gingival margin stability, and periodontal clinical parameters.
This study aims to determine whether digital guidance improves surgical accuracy, efficiency, and patient satisfaction compared to traditional techniques

Detaillierte Beschreibung
Esthetic crown lengthening is a commonly performed periodontal surgical procedure indicated for the correction of excessive gingival display, particularly in cases of altered passive eruption. Achieving optimal esthetic outcomes requires precise determination of gingival and osseous resection levels, which can be challenging using conventional clinical methods.
With the advancement of digital dentistry, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies have enabled the development of digitally guided surgical approaches. The dual digitally guided technique integrates two levels of guidance to control both soft tissue and bone resection, potentially enhancing surgical precision and predictability.
This randomized controlled clinical trial is designed to compare the effectiveness of dual digitally guided crown lengthening with the conventional technique in patients presenting with gummy smile due to altered passive eruption (Type B1).
Eighteen systemically healthy patients aged 18-40 years will be recruited and randomly assigned into two equal groups. The control group will undergo conventional crown lengthening using clinical measurements and manual surgical techniques. The intervention group will be treated using a dual digitally fabricated surgical guide based on digital smile design, CBCT analysis, and intraoral scanning.
Clinical and patient-reported outcomes will be assessed at baseline and during follow-up periods. The primary outcome is the gain in clinical crown length measured at 3 months postoperatively. Secondary outcomes include operating time, pain (VAS), patient satisfaction (VAS), gingival margin level, probing depth, gingival index, plaque index, bleeding on probing, keratinized gingival height, and gingival thickness.
The results of this study are expected to provide evidence regarding the benefits of digital guidance in periodontal esthetic surgery and its potential to improve clinical outcomes and patient experience.

Aktiver Komparator: Conventional Crown Lengthening
Participants in this group will undergo conventional surgical crown lengthening based on clinical evaluation and manual measurements.
The procedure includes gingivectomy and osseous resection performed according to standard periodontal surgical protocols without the use of digital guidance.
