Figure 5: Smoothing the tooth’s surface using a superfine diamond bur (40 microns) to completely remove the old fractured portion of the tooth surface Figure 6: Smoothing the root surface creates a parabolic architecture to mimic the soft tissue contours, allowing for a new biologic width to reestablish without having to significantly alter the bone. CONCLUSION When performing traditional crown lengthening for a fractured tooth, the potential need to remove excessive bone to create space for the biologic width is cause for concern. Conventional thinking is to locate the apical location of the fracture and start removing bone from that point. With biologic shaping, however, the fractured portion of the tooth is removed first to preserve as much bone as possible. This conservative procedure can avoid excessive removal of bone and help preserve bone in the furcation area, leading to long-term stability and a successful restorative outcome. CM Figure 7: After 12 weeks of healing and the establishment of the biologic width, a new crown was placed just coronal to the gingival collar. Notice that the location of the new margin is in perfect harmony with the adjacent teeth. Dr. Daniel Melker is in private practice in Clearwater, Fla., and lectures nationwide on periodontics.

Figures in Dentistry Spotlight: • Doc Holliday • – ARTICLE by Michael C. DiTolla, DDS, FAGD and Megan Strong onsidering the incredible fear surrounding extractions, root canals and dental work in general, being known as “history’s most fearsome dentist” wouldn’t exactly bode well for one’s private practice. You get the feeling that his reviews on Yelp would have been less than stellar, and that word-of-mouth referrals would be few and far between. As a dentist in a time when any dental procedure seemed like something out of a nightmare, Dr. John Henry “Doc” Holliday was a man unafraid of blood, guts and violence. Doc spent his short but historically eventful life roaming the dusty trail in search of danger, fortune and caries. Born in Georgia to a wealthy family, Doc came into this world on Aug. 14, 1851. After losing both his mother and adopted brother to tuberculosis, Doc went on to attend the Pennsylvania College of <strong>Dental</strong> Surgery, which his cousin, Robert Holliday, founded. He graduated in 1872 with a thesis titled “Diseases of the Teeth.” The next time you feel like complaining about how difficult state boards were, consider yourself lucky that you didn’t have to write a thesis. Or even read a thesis, for that matter. Shortly after graduating with a dental degree, Doc began work as a dentist in the office of Dr. Arthur C. Ford in Atlanta, Ga. It wasn’t long after starting his practice that he came down with tuberculosis, the same disease that claimed his mother and brother. Thinking the drier climate of the Wild, Wild West would be better for his health, he headed to the other side of the country. Figures in Dentistry Spotlight65
