The management of soft tissue defects using the "gingival shaving" technique.

A simple, effective technique is described for the correction of unfavourable gingival contour during post-surgical or pre-prosthetic procedures. Termed the "gingival shaving technique", it is conducted with high-speed course diamond burs. Results are relatively rapid and predictable, especially in cases where esthetics are most desirable. The technique can be performed by the periodontist or prosthodontist, and can be repeated until satisfactory gingival contour is achieved. Case selection, careful preparation, and post treatment management and care are essential for success.

Electrosurgery in restorative Dentistry: 2. Clinical applications.

Electrosurgery techniques have been used in dentistry as an aid to soft tissue management for nearly 60 years. However, it was not until the late 1960s that the principles of electrosurgery were understood and improved equipment became available. Part 1 of the two-part series covered the theory behind using this technique. Part 2 will now discusses the clinical applications.

[Evaluation of results of subgingival curettage in periodontology].

Introductory remarks review the extensive present range of literature with reference to the aim and evaluation of the results of the curettage. One of the definitions given by the authors considers indication and aim in a general form. The authors discuss their own histological examinations after curettage with a selection of typical figures. The clincal experiences and histological results presented lead to a vast restriction of the indication of this interference.

[The possibility of oral rehabilitation of the handicapped under anesthesia].

In addition to technical and personnel requirements, clinical experience is necessary for oral rehabilitation of handicapped patients under general anesthesia. As our investigation has shown, the dental measures conceivable under legal aspects and theoretically feasible under general anesthesia, are almost exclusively limited to uncompromising, dental surgical reconstruction, if possible in one session. Conservative measures show a lasting success in few cases only, especially in occlusal acrylic and amalgam fillings of handicapped persons of sufficient intelligence and personal oral hygiene. Treatment under general anesthesia is inevitably indicated in imbeciles, the feeble-minded, spastics, epileptics, and sometimes in mongoloids. The patient's wish or that of his companion are not sufficient, nor the lack of will or obstinacy. Only after all other means failed, should oral rehabilitation be performed under general anesthesia.

Implant treatment of macroglossia and edentulous mandible following radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer: a case report.

Radiotherapy for the nasopharyngeal cancer patient with poor oral care may lead to severe deterioration of the dentition and may require multiple extractions. Although the use of an implant-retained overdenture can successfully restore the function and esthetics of edentulous patients, its use can be complicated by the tissue changes subsequent to head and neck irradiation. The difficulties in implant treatment planning for an edentulous patient with macroglossia and soft tissue changes following radiotherapy are discussed.

Short tooth syndrome: diagnosis, etiology, and treatment management.

The periodontal-restorative team is uniquely positioned to provide the esthetic procedures that today's sophisticated patient population has come to expect. Not only is health and function of great desire but also esthetics is in demand. Armed with periodontal-plastic procedures and technically advanced restorative materials, the periodontal-restorative team can provide these patient needs. The challenge becomes making the correct diagnosis and selecting the appropriate treatment regimen.

Esthetic evaluation and treatment of the maxillary anterior--a case report.

Achieving an optimal esthetic result can be very challenging. As in other dental disciplines, attention to detail must be followed at all stages, starting with thorough diagnosis and treatment planning. Better understanding and fewer potential problems result when dentists communicate with patients by educating them about their treatment options and keeping them involved. In this case, decisions regarding orthodontics and periodontics were made easily because of a complete understanding between the patient and dentist. Informing patients of the advantages and disadvantages of various treatment options allows them to make more informed decisions.

An overview of lasers in dentistry.

Since lasers first were introduced to general dentistry in 1990, the FDA has approved the use of seven different wavelengths. These wavelengths serve different functions in the oral cavity and create a world of difference in how the lasers operate. This article details the five wavelengths currently available and evaluates their ability to perform dental procedures.
