Management of the facial gingival margin

Michael S Block. Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am. 2011 May.

Abstract

This article discusses the management of the facial gingival margin before and after tooth removal. Important factors including diagnostic assessment, wound healing, bone resorption and remodeling, gingival thickness, and gingival margin are reviewed, and key procedures suggested. Gingival thickness can have a major influence on the maintenance of the facial gingival margin over the longer term.
