Significant Difference

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcome of conventional flap surgery and minimally invasive surgery for the regenerative treatment of periodontal intrabony defects in a prospective, case-controlled study design. For this purpose, nine healthy individuals with 15 periodontal intrabony defects were included in the study. Patients were randomly assigned to undergo either minimally invasive surgery or conventional flap surgery for treatment of their intrabony periodontal defect. Each patient had preoperative and postoperative X-ray and measurement of periodontal parameters by a blinded examiner. All bony defects were treated with allograft consisting of enamel matrix derivative and demineralized freeze-dried bone. Results of this study indicated that both minimally invasive and conventional flap surgery improved pocket depth and clinical attachment levels after 6 months of surgery with no significant difference between the two surgeries. The overall result of our study suggests that minimally invasive surgery is as effective as conventional flap surgery in the treatment of intrabony periodontal defects and that both techniques appear to provide a comparable outcome.

Gummy Smile

Gummy smile is a characteristic in which the patient exposes more than 2 mm of keratinized gingiva in forced smile. With a multifactorial cause, its correct planning depends directly on the correct diagnosis. Usually, the procedures that involve manipulation and the enlargement of the aesthetical crown lengthening are surgical. The objective of this case series was to show the advantages of surgical crown augmentation surgery in aesthetic areas with minimally invasive techniques. Three cases of gummy smile were presented, with different treatment plans and techniques for execution. In the 3 cases, bone removal was performed with piezoelectric ultrasound, which made the postoperative more comfortable for patients. These cases illustrate the use of technology to reduce morbidity in patients who need to undergo bone removal to treat gingival smile.
