RESUMEN
Maintenance of biological width serves as a primary factor in periodontal-restorative relationships. Crown lengthening (CL) is a technique to prevent violation of biological width, with the laser method offering the advantage of surgical and patient-related outcomes. Laser CL with retraction helps with the excision of tissues, increasing the CL, maintaining the gingival contour with adequate exposure to the finish line to record the tooth preparation features. This helps to achieve the functional and esthetic outcomes essential for restorative dentistry. The marginal fit, contour, and adaptation of the crown can be further enhanced by computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology improving patient and clinical outcomes. Hence, this case report aims to indulge the laser-assisted procedures and CAD/CAM technology to fabricate and deliver a zirconia crown maintaining the periodontal-restorative factors.
RESUMEN
Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) is a periodontal-orthodontic interrelationship procedure that helps in accelerating orthodontic treatment by periodontal procedure reinforcement. This depends on the principle of the regional acceleratory phenomenon which involves inducing changes in the biology of periodontal tissues to fasten the orthodontic tooth movement by creating a surge in the osteopenic environment for tooth movement followed by bone deposition and mineralisation to stabilise the tooth in newly moved position. This PAOO involves the intentional creation of surgical corticotomy cuts followed by a grafting procedure to maintain bone resorption and thickness. Numerous modifications have been incorporated to reduce surgical complications and to improve treatment results by minimally invasive techniques. Hence, this case report incorporated piezosurgery-assisted corticotomy cuts involving the buccal side along with particulate bone grafting to fasten the orthodontic tooth movement, reducing the overall treatment time, root resorption and stabilising the orthodontic treatment results.
RESUMEN
In periodontal care, where patient results are crucial in guiding the development of surgical techniques, gingival recession management is a critical issue. The periosteum eversion technique (PET) emerges as a modern strategy that leverages the intrinsic regenerative capabilities of the periosteum to attain root coverage. A detailed case study showcases the effectiveness of PET in managing a Miller Class I gingival recession alongside an adjunctive platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) procedure. This approach entailed the deliberate elevation and eversion of the periosteal flap to encompass the recession area, securing it meticulously through suturing. Across a six-month observation period, this method exhibited successful root coverage, augmentation of keratinized tissue, and enhanced patient comfort, as reported, with no significant complications observed. These outcomes provide support for the incorporation of PET into standard periodontal protocols, underscoring its capacity to reshape the treatment landscape for gingival recession.
RESUMEN
AIM: Thepresent review is to discuss the current trends in periodontal approaches for improving the esthetics in dentistry. BACKGROUND: Esthetics is an essential component of today's dental care. A growing awareness of esthetics has fueled an increase in esthetic demand in dentistry in recent years. The ultimate goal in modern dentistry is to attain "white and pink esthetics" in the esthetically important zone Review results: Current evidence-based periodontal approaches for improving esthetic dentistry are discussed. The periodontal management of esthetics is mainly focused on proper assessment of the case scenario including the associated mucogingival deformities and selection of a proper technique for the correction of the same. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: There is drastic increase in esthetic demand for the dental procedures in recent years. With the evolution of innovative techniques, clinicians can fulfill the patient's esthetic demands. Thus it is important to be updated in this field about the current innovative approaches. CONCLUSION: Newer procedures are being developed all the time and are gradually being integrated into periodontal practice. The practitioner should be mindful that novel approaches are sometimes presented without appropriate clinical research. Our ongoing progress toward better therapeutic approaches should be guided by critical analysis of freshly offered methodologies.
