- Maintaining periodontal health is crucial when using deep margin elevation.
Takeaway
Deep margin elevation is a way to fix deep dental margins without surgery, making it easier for dentists to help patients keep their gums healthy.

The article discusses various clinical approaches to managing subgingival restorations, focusing on deep margin elevation as a minimally invasive technique.
Limitations
Deep margin elevation may not be effective if the cavity is too close to the bone or if proper isolation cannot be achieved.
