Fiberotomy Extrusion Crown Lengthening

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating two different methods for a dental procedure called fiberotomy, which is done to help lengthen the crowns of teeth during orthodontic treatment. Specifically, the study compares the use of a laser to a traditional technique to see which method better maintains the stability of the healthy tooth structure that is exposed after the procedure. This is important for ensuring that the teeth remain strong and healthy after treatment.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should be between 18 and 50 years old, have teeth in the front part of their mouth (the esthetic zone), and have teeth that can be restored after previous treatment. They should also have enough support from nearby teeth to allow for movement. However, individuals with poor oral hygiene, certain medical conditions, or specific dental issues may not qualify. Participants in the trial can expect to learn more about which method works better for maintaining tooth stability, and their involvement will help improve dental care practices for future patients.
