Er:YAG Laser Crown Lengthening vs Traditional Crown Lengthening

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares a laser-assisted, flapless Er:YAG crown lengthening procedure with conventional surgical crown lengthening. It targets adults aged 18 to 75 who require crown lengthening in either jaw and excludes those with uncontrolled systemic conditions, heavy smoking, or other healing risks. Outcomes will focus on periodontal parameters after treatment to determine if the laser approach offers similar or improved results and recovery. The study takes place at Gulf Medical University in Ajman, led by a primary sponsor with no listed collaborators. The aim is to assess whether laser-assisted techniques can provide a less invasive option with comparable efficacy.
