Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 15
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE Two systemically healthy non-smoker patients visited the Department of Periodontology, Rajarajeswari Dental College and Hospital, Bangalore, India, with the chief complaint of receding gums in the lower anteriors. Clinical examination revealed an inadequate zone of Attached Gingiva (AG) with either shallow vestibule or aberrant frenum attachment in both the cases. The general description and the clinical parameters of the patients are provided in Table No. 1. Clinical parameters were recorded using UNC-15 periodontal probe at baseline and at 3 months post-surgically, which included probing pocket depth (PPD- distance from gingival margin to base of pocket), GR (distance from cemento-enamel junction to gingival margin), width of AG (distance from base of pocket to mucogingival junction) and clinical attachment level (CAL- distance from cemento-enamel junction to base of pocket) as shown in Table 1. The procedure was well explained to the patient and informed consent was obtained for surgery.
