Abstract


Esthetically pleasing smile involves harmony of lips, gingiva and teeth in esthetic zone. Color and shape of the gingival tissue greatly influence the esthetic of smile. Gingival recession, asymmetrical gingival contour, gingival clefts, dehiscence and fenestration etc in esthetic zone poses the greatest challenge to a clinician. Majority of periodontal plastic surgery are undertaken to treat or prevent gingival deformities. Microsurgical techniques have been performed routinely for the management of periodontal problems with promising results. Soft tissue manipulation in endodontically involved teeth is challenging as it poses varying degrees of hard and soft tissue destruction. Minimally invasive modified periodontal techniques have demonstrated positive results for the management of various endo-perio problems, improving patients smile restoring the functions.
