CONDICIONAMENTO GENGIVAL ATRAVÉS DE PROVISÓRIO

Abstract

Gengival conditioning through interim.
The prosthetic rehabilitation of edentulous areas is often hindered by the presence of bone defects, such as atrophy, lip, and mucogengival, as the absence of papillae. Periodontal surgical procedures and conditioning gingival provisional represent alternative management of edentulous areas to be rehabilitated. This article aims at reporting a case where, by gum conditioning technique, we obtained significant gains in thickness and contour in gingival edentulous area, improving the aesthetic condition of the final reconstruction.
