When should a gingival prosthesis be considered for aesthetic tissue defects?

ArticleParty Gums - Turn it up with "The Pink Component”Open

A gingival prosthesis may be considered when tissue loss creates an unaesthetic emergence profile, open gingival embrasures or a defect that would be difficult, unpredictable or excessively invasive to correct surgically. Selection depends on defect extent, smile line, cleansability, phonetics, restorative design, patient expectations and maintenance. Pink ceramic, composite or removable silicone approaches each have different repairability, hygiene and colour-stability considerations.
