Abstract
Laser-assisted crown lengthening is a minimally invasive procedure used to expose more tooth structure for restorative and aesthetic purposes. In this case report, a 35-year-old patient underwent crown lengthening using a diode laser, chosen for its precision, minimal bleeding, and faster healing. The procedure was completed in a single session without the need for sutures. The patient reported minimal discomfort and experienced rapid recovery. Post-operative results showed improved gingival contour and tooth exposure, with successful healing and no complications. This technique offers an effective, modern alternative to traditional surgical methods
