In-Ceram is an alternative when esthetics is primordial as well as resistance required in rehabilitation. However, an ideal smile is associated to not only shape, color, texture and translucency but also harmony with gingival tissue. So, the aim of this study is to report a clinical case based on periodontal and fixed partial dentures principles to perform periodontal plastic surgery followed by esthetic rehabilitation. A female patient, 40-year-old, presented complaint about dental esthetics. After clinical and radiographic exams, metal-ceramics crowns (teeth 11, 12, 13, 21, 22 and 23) were considered unsatisfactory due to marginal leakage, color change in gingival tissue associated to metallic margin, and gummy smile. So, a crown lengthening surgery of anterior teeth was performed followed by rehabilitation of superior teeth with In-Ceram single crowns. Clinical significance: The interaction between periodontics and fixed prosthodontic area is the key of an adequated treatment planning which involves gingival smile to provide function and an esthetic condition in association with an esthetic, resistant and predictable material.68-72engAll-CeramicCrown lengthening surgeryFixed partial dentureIn Ceram AluminaIn Ceram ZirconiaIn-Ceram AluminaIn-Ceram Zirconiaadultcase reportchemistrydental procedureendodonticsfemalegingivectomyhumanmaxillamethodologyoral surgeryorthodonticsosteotomypatient carepatient care planningplastic surgeryreviewtooth crowntooth prosthesisAdultCrown LengtheningCrownsDental PorcelainDental Prosthesis DesignEsthetics, DentalFemaleGingivectomyHumansMaxillaOral Surgical ProceduresOsteotomyPatient Care PlanningPatient Care TeamPost and Core TechniqueRoot Canal PreparationSurgical FlapsArtigo10.5005/jp-journals-10024-1012Acesso aberto2-s2.0-848561466362-s2.0-84856146636.pdf894280481907639264262046566569630000-0003-1781-1953
