Filter by:Non-inflammatory recessions and Miller class I-II-III. mucogingival defects after elimination of localized gingival enlargements are frequently encountered challenges in the daily practice. In Miller class II-III. recessions the lack of keratinized tissues often compromise the maintenance a proper oral hygiene, this can cause inflammation, which can result in further periodontal attachment loss. In the literature there are some approaches that aim at widening of keratinized tissues and root coverage at the same time, such as the subperiosteal envelope technique (SET) (Allen 1994) combined with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) or a partially epithelialized connective tissue graft (PE-SCTG) (Stimmelmayr 2011). In the eradication of localized gingival enlargement postoperative complications following surgical removal, such as recurrence and subsequent gingival recessions as well as loss of keratinized tissues are commonly observed. Nevertheless, a state of the art comprehensive treatment approach has not been reported yet to overcome the above mentioned sequels. The aim of this study is to present a periodontal plastic surgical approach to definitively eliminate localized gingiva enlargements and to simultaneously correct consecutive Miller class I II-III. recessions, esthetic disturbances.

we used prf with dental implant treatment to find out whether prf has an effect on increasing the soft tissue thickness and keratinized tissue width
Gingival enlargement is one of the most common soft tissue problems associated with fixed orthodontic treatment. The presence of orthodontic appliances impedes oral hygiene measures and alters the oral microbial ecosystem to a more pathogenic oral biofilm. Subsequent accumulation of plaque can contribute to development of chronic periodontal inflammation and can progress to gingival enlargement. Gingival enlargement inhibits hygiene measures, slows down orthodontic tooth movement and cause aesthetic and functional problems. Management of gingival enlargement by non-surgical periodontal treatment is considered to be most important and effective. Optimal plaque control can be maintained by meticulous brushing, flossing and professional scaling. However, motivation of maintaining oral hygiene can be disappointing in some patients. In cases that the enlarged gingivae became fibrous, surgical treatment can be considered. Traditionally, gingivectomy was performed using scalpel under local infiltration. Since the first laser designed for dental use was introduced in 1989. Laser technology has continuously developed over the years and there are now many different types of dental lasers using a variety of wavelengths, e.g. Diode, Er:YAG, CO2 and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers. In orthodontics, various intraoral soft tissues surgical procedures may be required frequently, e.g. gingivectomy, gingivoplasty, fraenectomy, exposure of unerupted/ impacted/ partially erupted teeth. The use of laser has becoming more popular because the advantages of laser therapy are good haemostasis, excellent visualization of the operating field, fewer intra- and post-operative complications, bactericidal effect, no suture required, less scars, and better pain control with effects of reduced use of local anaesthesia and analgesic. Diode laser unit has the merits of compact size and relatively low price. Gingivectomy by diode laser may become an effective adjunctive treatment in orthodontic practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of diode laser in the management of gingival enlargement related to orthodontic treatment.
