Turn up your smile by gingival masks - A prosthetic approach: Case report

Abstract

The periodontal attachment loss, gingival recession and loss of interdental papilla in the maxillary anterior region can often lead to esthetic and functional clinical problems. It becomes a challenge for the dentist to provide an esthetic solution for the missing gingival tissue and to maintain hygiene .Reconstruction of these areas can be done with the gingival mask which is a removable prosthesis used to replace lost gingiva or to hide black triangle spaces between teeth creating an esthetic replacement.
