Chu’s Crown Lengthening Gauge

The Chu’s Crown Lengthening Gauge is a specialized dental measuring instrument designed to support predictable measurements during aesthetic crown lengthening procedures . Manufactured by HuFriedyGroup as part of Chu’s Aesthetic Gauges, it provides color-coded measurements intended to help dental professionals establish appropriate clinical crown and papilla positioning. The gauge is designed to provide quick, accurate, and easy-to-read measurements , helping clinicians evaluate crown dimensions during treatment. Its predefined measurements can assist with establishing the proper mid-facial clinical crown and biologic crown length during crown lengthening procedures. The Papilla tip helps establish the aesthetic position of the interdental papilla from the incisal edge before flap closure and suturing. The Chu’s Crown Lengthening Gauge CLGS includes one handle, two BLPG tips, and two Papilla tips . HuFriedyGroup also offers the CLG version with a #8 ResinEight™ handle. The CLGS version uses a Satin handle. The gauge can be incorporated into periodontal, prosthodontic, aesthetic, restorative, and crown lengthening workflows . It can complement Chu’s Proportion Gauge and Sounding Gauge when a comprehensive aesthetic crown-lengthening assessment is required. HuFriedyGroup’s complete Chu’s Aesthetic Gauges set combines these three measurement instruments. The BLPG and Papilla tips have predefined measurement markings. HuFriedyGroup states that the tips are replaceable when markings fade, with replacement tips available separately. For reprocessing, the manufacturer recommends disassembling the tip and handle, cleaning, disinfecting, and sterilizing the components. It also advises avoiding phenols and iodophors and not using dry heat sterilization.
