Gingival Veneer: A Novel Technique of Masking Gingival Recession
One of the most distressing aspects of periodontitis is the unesthetic appearance of maxillary and mandibular anteriors.

| Summary: | One of the most distressing aspects of periodontitis is the unesthetic appearance of maxillary and mandibular anteriors. The elongation
of the crowns due to root exposure and increased interdental spacing results in unesthetic appearance. Surgical procedures for gingival
recession coverage do not have acceptable results in cases of severe gingival recession. So nonsurgical methods like gingival veneers
should be considered as a treatment modality in such cases. This article aims to revisit the gingival veneer: its uses, advantages,
disadvantages, and its fabrication. The case discussed here highlight clinical situation where the gingival veneer prosthesis helped in
achieving optimum esthetics and patient satisfaction thus proving to be a feasible and simple treatment modality in certain clinical cases.
This may offer a good interim solution for patients who may wish to have time to consider their options of more advanced and complex
treatment. |
