PERIODONTAL PLASTIC SURGERY

Periodontal plastic surgery techniques have evolved remarkably over the last few years, being one of the essential practices when requiring the correction of deformities of the gums or the alveolar mucosa.

The first thing to consider is the facial and muscular structure of the patient, since the face is the letter of introduction of every person and the smile is the best way to relate to others.

Care must be taken to maintain the harmony of the face and teeth when performing this type of treatment, so that the appearance achieved is as natural as possible.

Thus, periodontal plastic surgery can be recommended both in cases in which there is excess gum due to inflammation and in the opposite case, when the gums retract and expose the roots of the teeth. Also, this procedure may be suggested to help bone resorption after extraction.

Therefore, it is necessary to understand that the convenience of periodontal plastic surgery for the patient goes beyond a simple superfluous vision of aesthetics; This procedure is more focused on the repair of defects, absence and / or lesions of the periodontium, including in this concept mucogingival surgery, regenerative periodontal surgery, para-orthodontic surgery, paraprosthetic surgery, implant surgery and aesthetic periodontal surgery. The specialist must determine the most appropriate intervention, aimed at guaranteeing oral health and the best aesthetic presentation.
