Gingival Veneers: A Case Series for Treatment of Multiple Gingival Recession and Black Triangles.

Abstract

Gingival and periodontal disease leads to recession, black triangles, soft tissue defect in the esthetic region. For these problems non surgical and surgical treatment modalities have been reported. When large volumes of tissue are missing with interdental papilla loss, treatment methods such as reconstruction of papilla are not possible. The other surgical treatment modalities like mucogingival surgeries are unpopular because of long healing time, discomfort and surgical costs. The reconstruction of these areas with prosthesis like gingival veneer can be useful to correct these deformities that remain after the control of periodontal diseases, especially in the maxillary anterior esthetic region. This case series of 3 patients aims to revisit the gingival veneer, which highlights a clinical situation where the gingival veneer prosthesis helped in achieving the optimum esthetics and patient satisfaction, thus proving to be a feasible and simple treatment modality.
