INFLUENCE OF INFLAMMATORY DISEASES ON AESTHETICS Flashcards
aesthetic components
teeth
gingiva
lip line
gingiva aesthetic parts
colour form/shape symmetry rx to upper lip knife edge margina smooth transition from gingiva to tooth fill embrasures light stippling
vertical and horizontal symmetry of teeth
lateral incisors 1,5mm below gum
canines and central incisors same horizontal level
influence of inflammatory PD on aesthetics
inflmamtion (gingiva will increase and be lower)
recession (gum higher on tooth)
tooth movement (drifting, spaces and black triangles may appear/overjet)
inflammation clinical signs
erythema swelling fibrosis interdental papilla swollen may be ulceration of calculus
advantages of perio tx on aesthetics
reduction of erythema
reduction of swelling
improvement in contour
dis of perio tx on aesthetics
recession
poor contour
loss of symmetry
papilla may be lost, black triangels
gingival veneer indication
when perio disease has causes generalised tissue loss in anterior area
maintenance needs to be good
contraindicated if there is a high caries risk
periodontal plastic surgery problems and sol
high frenum (frenectomy) gingival recession (gingival grafting) delayed gingival maturation (crown lengthening) anaesthetic gingival margin gingival discolouration (grafting) ridge collapse (grafting) sub gingival restorative margin
management of excessive gingival height
gingivectomy
excision flap
