Gingival Veneer-An Esthetic Challenge for Gingival Recession Management.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Anterior dental esthetics becomes crucial in patients with periodontal disease with open embrasures, increased crown height, black triangles. Periodontal diseases result in damage and destruction of the supporting structures of the teeth, including the bone and periodontal ligament. In some cases, there is loss of gingival coverage of the teeth in esthetic regions with gingival recession and loss of interdental papilla. The surgical treatment in such situations may delay healing time with often unpredictable results. Gingival veneer is esthetically appealing and easy to maintain. This is a conservative method of obtaining predictable esthetics. This method is an innovative treatment option for dealing with esthetic challenges and long term dental health. This case report describes a technique to replace gingival tissue with a gingival veneer.
