Summary<br />
Our case presents an improvement of the maxillary anterior region in a young<br />
patient with an evident discrepancy between the gingival margins of the central incisors.<br />
In order to align the marginal gingiva according to esthetical criteria, we decided to<br />
combine two surgical techniques. For the posttraumatic elongated crown (21) we<br />
decided to apply a free gingival flap from the palate. For the remaining anterior teeth,<br />
because of the permissive biological width, we decided to perform a gingivectomy in<br />
order to obtain the optimal dental proportion. After the optimal periodontal healing, the<br />
final crowns applied were all ceramic Empress 1.<br />
Key words: free connective tissue graft, gingivectomy, gingival margin line,<br />
dental proportion.<br />
