Severe gingival damage occurred in a patient after a dental impression using vinyl polysiloxane. A gingival graft procedure successfully restored the gum tissue complex within one year.

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Periodontology
Dental Materials Science

Background:

Dental impressions are crucial for prosthodontic restorations.
Vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) is a common impression material.
Gingival health is vital for successful dental treatments.

Observation:

A 38-year-old female experienced severe gingival damage post-impression for a full crown.
The damage was associated with the use of vinyl polysiloxane material.
The lesion required surgical intervention.

Findings:

A gingival graft procedure was performed, placing tissue directly onto the bone.
One-year follow-up demonstrated successful regeneration of the gingival complex.
The graft facilitated the re-establishment of healthy periodontal tissues.

Implications:

This case highlights a potential complication of VPS impression materials.
Gingival grafting can be an effective treatment for severe iatrogenic gingival damage.
Further research into material-tissue interactions may be warranted.
