First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two ways to perform crown lengthening, a dental procedure that reshapes gum and bone to expose more tooth. One method uses a laser, while the other uses traditional surgical tools. Researchers will measure pain and recovery in 26 adults to see which approach is better.
