Treatment options for a fractured tooth, particularly at the level of gum, are extremely limited. While restoring such fractured tooth, the biologic width must be considered. This can be maintained sometimes by surgical crown lengthening procedure. Here, one patient with fractured 21 and 22 reported. In the case, gingivectomy was carried out to remove gingiva around the neck of the tooth under local anesthesia followed by removal of the circumferential bone in the gingival sulcus. A significantly increased length of clinical crown in all aspect was achieved. Then customized posts with cores were prepared and then teeth were restored and twounit crowns were placed after 6 weeks post-surgically. The marginal periodontal tissue shows well, healthy conditions during 6 months period of healing. Thus, the fractured teeth were restored by creating biologic width by crown lengthening procedure.
