Crown Lengthening- two types:

1. Crown Lengthening- reposition bone and gum around a tooth that has decayed or fractured below the gum line so it can be restored. Orthodontic extrusion of the tooth can precede crown lengthening and eliminate black spaces between the teeth and gum when it is restored.
