Comparing 3D scanning methods to measure gum changes after crown lengthening
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new 3D scanning technique to measure gum changes after crown lengthening surgery. It aims to see if the new method is as accurate as the current standard approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have a procedure called crown lengthening to improve the look of your smile.
- Your gums and teeth must be healthy, with less than 20% of areas showing plaque or bleeding.
- You need to have enough attached gum tissue (at least 2.5 mm) around the treated area.
- You must be willing to follow instructions and come to follow-up visits.

This trial tests a new, non-invasive way to measure gum changes after a cosmetic gum reshaping (crown lengthening). It compares a 3D scanning technique to the current best method, to see which gives more accurate results.
This study compares two minimally invasive laser techniques to reshape your gums and reduce a gummy smile (excessive gum show). The goal is to see which approach—without cutting or with a small tunnel cut—gives better results with less discomfort and faster healing.
This trial tests a new digital planning method for crown lengthening (a procedure to reshape gum tissue around a tooth to improve smile appearance). It might help you if you have a front tooth needing cosmetic gum work and have healthy gums and good oral hygiene.
This study uses 3D digital scans to measure gum tissue changes after a gum grafting procedure. It may be helpful for people with receding gums on their lower front teeth.
This trial tests a new handheld scanner that uses light to create a 3D picture of your teeth. It may help dentists make crowns more accurately without messy impressions.
This trial tests two ways to gently move gum tissue so a dentist can take an impression for a bridge or crown. It compares a traditional retraction cord with an aluminum chloride gel to see which works better.
