Periodontic and General Periodontal Procedure Dental PicturesGummy Orthodontics - Crown LengtheningPatient is a young 14 year old boy undergoing traditional orthodontic teeth straightening. He had begun to experience severe gingival overgrowth due to extended ortho treatments.Periodontal Gum Tissue Reshaping
As orthodontic treatments continued, the gingival overgrowth condition steadily worsened. The adjacent preoperative treatment photo represents the extent to which the gum tissues had grown and the time at which periodontal intervention was implemented.Crown Lengthening and Gingival Recontouring procedures, performed on a tooth by tooth basis were recommended. To assure absolute comfort for the young patient during treatment, IV sedation, Valium and Versed medications were used. The medications were successful in creating a near perfect treatment environment. The patient was totally relaxed and enabled the doctor to perform the precision treatments with no reports of discomfort.
All treatments were performed with a scalpel, creating tooth height and gingival arches that created a cosmetic result that nearly approximates what Mother Nature normally provides.The adjacent post operative picture shows the natural appearance of what are now normal tooth size relationships on both the upper and lower (maxillary and mandibular, respectively) arches. This cosmetic treatment plan was performed shortly before orthodontic treatment ended to assure a great looking cosmetic result after the braces are removed. Performing this procedure too early, for some patients, can result in the overgrowth condition to occur again. Michigan Periodontist Joseph R. Nemeth, D.D.S.
