Cosmetic interventions

The need for cosmetic surgery in the oral cavity arises from functional and anatomical defects of soft and bone tissues resulting from:

  1. congenital malformations of the dental system;
  2. injuries;
  3. age-related changes;
  4. inflammatory diseases;
  5. surgical intervention.

The main cosmetic operations include: gingivoplasty, vestibuloplasty, frenuloplasty, elimination of gingival recession.

Gingivoplasty

Gingivoplasty is an operation performed on the gums to improve the aesthetics, condition and functionality of periodontal tissue.

During the process of gingivoplasty, the dental surgeon adds missing or removes excess gum tissue. Indications for gingivoplasty are:

  1. multi-level arrangement of the gum edge;
  2. covering a significant part of the tooth crown (“shark smile”);
  3. receding (recession) of the gums, exposing the root part of the tooth;
  4. presence of periodontal pockets;
  5. the need to form the gum edge during prosthetics or implantation;
  6. various aesthetic pathologies of the gums.

When performing gingivoplasty, curettage is often performed, tissue is transplanted onto gums taken from other places, and sometimes bone grafting is performed.

Vestibuloplasty

The vestibule of the mouth is the area located between the lip or cheeks and the teeth. A shallow vestibule (less than 5 mm deep), observed in every fifth person, can cause a number of pathologies - excessive tension and atrophy of the gums, exposure of the necks of teeth, malocclusion, jaw deformation, gingivitis, periodontitis, periodontitis.

The defect is corrected using vestibuloplasty. This is not only a cosmetic, but also a medical operation. Its essence is to deepen and expand the vestibule. The operation is performed under local anesthesia.

Vestibuloplasty technique:

  1. an incision is made between the gum and the movable part of the vestibule to the entire depth of the mucosa without affecting the periosteum;
  2. the mucous membrane with the underlying tendons and muscles is detached and moved inward along the periosteum;
  3. a mucous flap is sutured to the newly formed vestibule.

Frenuloplasty

The fold connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth is called the inferior frenulum or frenulum . Its length is normally 2.7–3 cm, and it is attached approximately to the middle of the tongue.

A shortened frenulum is a pathological (usually congenital) condition leading to dysfunction of the dentofacial apparatus. It causes excessive tension in the gingival tissue, deterioration of blood circulation in the periodontium, exposure of the necks of the teeth, and leads to mechanical injuries.

Infants with a shortened frenulum have problems with sucking milk, older children and adults have problems with diction (lisp).

Due to the strong tension of the frenulum, large gaps appear between the teeth, the bite is disturbed, and an aesthetically unattractive “gummy smile” can form (exposure of a significant part of the gums when smiling).

The pathology is eliminated by frenuloplasty - an operation the essence of which is to cut and/or change the attachment site of the frenulum.

The most appropriate frenuloplasty technique in a particular case is chosen by the dental surgeon, based on the clinical situation.

Elimination of gum recession

Gum recession is a displacement of its edge towards the apex of the root, as a result of which the neck of the tooth is exposed. In young people, this pathology is observed relatively rarely, in about 1 in 10. With age, its frequency increases, reaching 80-95% in older people.

The causes of gum recession are inflammatory processes in the periodontium, malocclusion, individual structural features of teeth, gums and jaws, injuries, and age-related changes in the dentofacial apparatus.

The consequence is exposure of the tooth roots, hypercementation, development of caries, swelling, bleeding, and loose teeth.

Gum recession is most often treated surgically, although conservative treatment methods have also been developed and used.

Surgical intervention consists of covering exposed dental roots with tissue flaps (DSDT, SST, SDT grafts), special membranes, and displacement of the mucous membrane from the gums. A combination of these methods is possible.

Reviews

Most often, people encounter a dental surgeon when removing teeth. Implantation, patchwork and cosmetic surgeries, restoration of jaw proportions are rarer cases.

If you have undergone these operations, tell us about your impressions of them and the results of the dental surgeon’s work specifically in your case. By leaving your comment at the bottom of the page, you will help someone make the right choice.

Contact with related specialties

A large number of therapeutic activities that a dental surgeon is involved in involves his close cooperation with doctors of other areas and specialties - dental therapists, orthodontists, orthopedists, oncologists.

A dental surgeon must be well versed not only in orthodontics, orthopedics, pediatric dentistry, but also in areas that are not directly related to dentistry, but are necessary for successful surgical intervention or rehabilitation after it.

This is pharmacology (medicines for local and general anesthesia, antiseptic and antibiotic drugs), the procedure and scheme for routing patients when diagnosing other diseases, in particular oncological ones.

It is necessary to know the regulatory documents and laws that regulate the work of not only a dental surgeon, but also doctors in other fields.
