Background: gingival recession after periodontal regeneration procedure usually compromised the esthetics of upper anterior region. This paper reported two cases using guided tissue regeneration in conjunction with frenotomy in the maxillary anterior area in order to control the retraction of the flap by the frenum. Clinical stability of the gingival line and the osteogenesis effect was examined after the surgery in the three-to-six month time period. Methods: To resolve the periodontal intraosseous defect in the maxillary central incisor, an integrated surgical design using Cortellini's ''modified papillary preservation technique'', guided tissue regeneration combined with deminerealized freeze-dried bone allograft as well as labial side frenotomy were innovatively performed in two clinical cases. Records of the clinical periodontal parameters, peripiacal x-ray films and color slides were taken before the surgery and during the periodic follow-up visits. Results: Six months after the procedure, the gingival line was stable and there was no exposure of the membrane. No obvious gingival recession was noted. Clinically, an increase of 3 mm attachment gain was measured and obvious bone formation could be detected from the x-ray. Conclusion: Guided tissue regeneration can be combined with periodontal plastic surgery through using a delicate periodontal flap design, removing the factors that may cause gingival recession, and controlling the tension force that may cause the exposure of the membrane during wrund healing. A clinically satisfactory result can be achieved in the esthetic zone in cases with periodontal intraosseous defect. |
