Periodontal Plastic Reconstruction of Soft Tissue Dehiscences After the Removal of Localized Gingival Enlargements
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Localized Gingival Enlargement, Epulides, Recurrence, Periodontal; Lesion
In brief
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.
