Abstract
This clinical report describes an interdisciplinary (orthodontic, periodontic, and prosthodontic) approach for the coordinated treatment of a patient diagnosed with peg-shaped maxillary lateral incisors, diastemata, short clinical crowns, excessive gingival display, and orthodontic malocclusion. The patient's specific esthetic expectations for the anterior maxilla were successfully met through phased treatment, including orthodontic tooth movement, provisional restorations, periodontal surgery for lengthening of the clinical crown, porcelain laminate veneers, and direct composite restorations. Such coordinated interdisciplinary evaluation and treatment are necessary for improved esthetic results in maxillary anterior areas esthetically compromised in several aspects.
