  • Title: Smile enhancement via internal gingivectomies.
    Author: Breault LG, Fowler EB.
    Journal: Gen Dent; 2000; 48(2):184-8. PubMed ID: 11199579.
    Abstract:
    Periodontal plastic surgical procedures provide a wide range of techniques to improve the esthetics of the mucogingival complex. Often these procedures are prerequisites for successful restorative therapy. This article presents a simple means of enhancing a patient's smile that can be provided by simple internal gingivectomies. The technique can be provided as a stand-alone procedure or in conjunction with restorative care. The surgery is simple and predictable with virtually no postsurgical sequellae.
