Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground : Gingival enlargement, a terminology for an increase in the size of the gingiva, is a general feature of gingival dis­eases. Gingival melanin pigmentation does not present a medical problem, but is likely to generate a concern in aesthetic function. Although melanin pigmentation is not a chief complain, this condition still need to be corrected. Clinicians are often confronted with a challenge in achieving gingival esthetics. Purpose : This case report aims to explain how to achieve esthetical and functional demands in gingival enlargement and gingival hyperpigmentation case with gingivectomy and gingival depigmentation. Case: This surgical procedure aim to retain esthetical and functional demands. Case Management: An 18-years-old male presenting with maxillary chronic inflam­matory gingival enlargement associated with prolonged orth­odontic therapy is reported. Orthodontic appliances are factors for irritation and plaque retention that interfere oral hygiene and regulate gingival inflammation. Surgical therapy was performed to provide a better aesthetic outcome and prevent plaque retention. Conclusion: The combination of gingivectomy and gingival depigmentation can resolve gingival enlargement and gingival hyperpigmentation perfectly with close proximity to the ideal gingival condition.Keyword : Gingival depigmentation, Gingivectomy, Orthodontic
