What is the Gingivoplasty?
The Gingivoplasty of periodontium, refers to the harmonious proportion of teeth – the gums, which is a decisive factor for a beautiful and functional smile.
- Gingivectomy (removal seal the gingival tissue around the teeth)
- Lengthening the clinical crown (removal seal the gingival and bone tissue, so the tooth to seem larger when they are very small)
- Correction to seal the gingival smile (gummy smile), when we have excessive growth of gum tissue, which cover a large part of the tooth with the result that it looks smaller.
- The resection frenuma small surgical procedure where there is a flat rate of χαλινού, which connects to the brim with the gums.
- Also the Gingivoplasty is indicated in the treatment of periodontal pockets-gaps between the teeth and gum, when the conservative periodontal curettage did not bring the desired results.
- Finally, with the Gingivoplasty is possible cover exposed rootsthrough gingival graft taken either from the oral cavity of the patient (autograft) or from trade
What we achieve with the aesthetic reshaping of the gum (ουλοπλαστική)?
With the aesthetic reshaping of the gum (Gingivoplasty) we aim for the elimination of antiaesthetic “gummy smile” (seal the gingival smile) in the correction ανισοϋψών gum (which give the image of short or tall tooth) giving to the gums and teeth an image meets the rules of the correct architecture of the gums. Is the most common surgery for aesthetic reasons.
The short teeth, the gingival smile, the asymmetry in the gums as well as the loss of volume of the gums and the jaw after extraction of the teeth, negatively affect the aesthetics of the smile. At the same time, it is possible to reformed and repositioned the level of tissues and to increase the volume of the areas is inadequate with cuttings of soft and hard tissues.
It is usually an important part of a a broader treatment plan such as:
- missing teeth
- non-harmonic line gum
- horizontal establishment
- hyperplasias gum
- incomplete east tooth
- smile design
Very often combined with the aesthetic reshaping of the tooth (cosmetic recondouring). In only a few minutes, we convert the non-desired shape or size of one or more teeth in a smile attractive and refurbished. The remodeling is applied without the need to add some hardware, and because it is minimal removal of tooth substance, it does not need anesthesia and finish quickly in one session.
