Abstract
A 30-year old female patient had reported with compromised aesthetics in the region of 21. On clinical examination, it was observed that the tooth (21) was discolored and supra-erupted. Also, the gingival margin level was severely affected. On radiographic examination it was found that the tooth was endodontically treated before. Laser gingivectomy was carried out to maintain the level and flow of gingival margin, and a metal free zirconia crown was given resulting highly promising dental outcome.
