  • Title: The use of periodontal plastic surgery procedures in aiding esthetic restorative results.
    Author: Levine RA, Makrauer Z.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 2003 Oct; 24(10):729-34, 736, 738 passim; quiz 741. PubMed ID: 14603628.
    Abstract:
    The creation of an esthetic dental restoration with gingival harmony can provide a reconstructive challenge. The use of periodontal plastic surgical procedures can aid in evening-out the gingival margins and in creating ovate pontics that improve not only the overall esthetic result but also the phonetic result for the patients. Working closely with an esthetic-driven periodontal office using evidence-based procedures can set the stage for a truly esthetic restoration.
