Periodontal Plastic Surgery

Periodontal plastic surgery refers to a set of surgical procedures designed to correct or enhance the form, function, and esthetics of the gingiva and supporting tissues. These procedures aim to manage gingival recession, improve esthetics of the smile, create a harmonious gingival contour, and augment soft tissue around teeth or implants. Common techniques include root coverage procedures, ridge augmentation, vestibuloplasty, and crown lengthening. With advances in microsurgery, biomaterials, and minimally invasive approaches, periodontal plastic surgery not only restores oral health but also contributes significantly to esthetics and patient confidence.
