Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyPeriodontal dressing after surgical crown lengthening: a randomized clinical trial.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of periodontal dressing on post-operative pain and swelling after surgical crown lengthening. ⋯ The use of periodontal dressing seems to be preferable following surgical crown lengthening with connective tissue/bone exposure. However, adequate post-operative analgesic strategies should be employed due to the possibility of intense pain in the first 24 hours.
