This study presents a predictable technique for conservatively removing excess gum tissue to treat bilateral diastemas. A surgical template aids in achieving functional and esthetic composite resin restorations.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Periodontology
  • Restorative Dentistry

Background:

  • Diastema correction using composite resin is a common and conservative dental procedure.
  • Achieving harmony between restorations and the periodontium is crucial for functional and esthetic outcomes.
  • Excessive interproximal gingival tissue can compromise restoration contour and hygiene.

Observation:

  • Excessive gingiva in the interproximal region necessitates removal to prevent over-contoured restorations.
  • Crown lengthening may be required to adequately treat bilateral diastemas.
  • A diagnostic wax-up can guide the fabrication of a surgical template.

Findings:

  • A predictable technique for conservative interproximal tissue removal is described.
  • A surgical template, based on a diagnostically waxed cast, serves as a guide for periodontal surgery.

  • This approach facilitates the correction of bilateral diastemas requiring crown lengthening.

    • Implications:

    • This technique offers a conservative method for managing gingival excess in diastema treatment.
    • Improved esthetic and functional results can be achieved through precise tissue management.
    • The use of surgical templates enhances predictability in periodontal procedures related to restorative dentistry.
