Clinical leadership, professional background, and evidence-based periodontal philosophy at PerioHome. Dr. Meizi Eliezer’s Protocol for Preventative Papilla Loss
Introduction
Achieving optimal aesthetic outcomes in crown lengthening requires precision, the right tools, and a deep understanding of tissue preservation. Dr. Meizi Eliezer, a leading expert at Periohome, has developed a refined protocol that enhances healing while preventing papilla loss—a key concern in aesthetic dentistry.
By integrating PerioKit2 and cross-linked hyaluronic acid, Dr. Eliezer has devised an approach that not only ensures better wound closure but also promotes long-term tissue stability.

The Importance of Crown Lengthening in the Aesthetic Zone
Crown lengthening is often necessary for restorative or cosmetic dental procedures. In the aesthetic zone—where the gums and teeth are most visible—meticulous technique is required to avoid complications such as papilla loss or excessive gingival recession. Dr. Eliezer’s protocol is specifically designed to:
- Ensure precise tissue removal
- Maintain papilla height
Dr. Meizi Eliezer’s Step-by-Step Protocol
1. Initial Measurements and Marking
Using a Cho gauge, Dr. Eliezer measures the available tissue and determines the necessary amount of gingival reduction. She marks the target areas with a periodontal probe to establish accurate incision points.
2. Precise Incision Techniques
Dr. Eliezer employs a 15C blade to make precise incisions:
3. Flap Elevation and Tissue Removal
4. Osseous Contouring with PerioKit2
PerioKit2, developed by Dr. Eliezer, includes specialized burs designed for:
5. Application of Cross-Linked Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is applied to:
- Enhance wound healing
- Reduce scar formation
6. Suturing for Optimal Papilla Preservation
Using resorbable sutures, Dr. Eliezer carefully:
Benefits of This Protocol
By integrating PerioKit2 and cross-linked hyaluronic acid, this protocol significantly improves:
- Soft tissue stability
Conclusion
Crown lengthening in the aesthetic zone is a highly technique-sensitive procedure, but with Dr. Meizi Eliezer’s refined protocol, dentists can achieve superior results. By utilizing PerioKit2 and cross-linked hyaluronic acid, practitioners can prevent papilla loss and enhance wound healing, ensuring a seamless, natural smile for their patients.
