A novel flexible, removable gingival prosthesis effectively restores lost gum tissue and interdental spaces caused by gingival recession. This dental innovation offers a comfortable, easy-to-manage solution for patients seeking to improve their oral aesthetics and hygiene.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Periodontology

Background:

  • Gingival recession leads to aesthetic concerns and functional deficits.
  • Traditional treatments for gingival recession can be invasive or lack aesthetic appeal.
  • A need exists for conservative and patient-friendly solutions to manage gingival tissue loss.

Observation:

  • A flexible, removable gingival prosthesis was developed.
  • This prosthesis is fabricated by a dental laboratory using a stone cast.
  • It is designed to precisely replicate interdental spaces lost due to gingival recession.

Findings:

  • The prosthesis effectively replaces lost gingival tissue, improving aesthetics.
  • It is retained securely through extension into interproximal undercuts.

  • The device is easily removable, facilitating convenient oral hygiene practices.

    • Implications:

    • This gingival prosthesis offers a minimally invasive treatment option for gingival recession.
    • It provides a viable solution for restoring both function and appearance in affected areas.
    • The removable nature enhances patient compliance and long-term oral health management.
