INTRODUCTION Final result is most dependent on health and level of surrounding gingival tissues Key to success is effective soft tissue management and goal is to provide healthy gingival tissue covering sound smooth restorative margins 1/17/2017 9
DEFINITION Gingival displacement is defined as the deflection of the marginal gingiva away from the tooth (Glossary of prosthodontics ; The Academy of Prosthodontics,2005) Gingival tissue management refers to maintainence of soft tissue health during preparation, impression & provisionalization procedures. 1/17/2017 10 THE GLOSSARY OF PROSTHODONTIC TERMS
INDICATIONS Subgingival extensions of margins Control of gingival hemorrhage or fluid flow Increase length of clinical crown Enhancing restoration Recording preparation margins during impressions Removal of gingival overgrowth 1/17/2017 11 Google search
NEED FOR GINGIVAL RETRACTION To widen the gingival sulcus in order to provide access for impression material to reach the subgingival margins & to record the finish line accurately. Helps in obtaining a perfect die with accurate margins, which helps in margin placement & contouring of the restoration. Helps in blending of the restoration with the unprepared tooth surface. Helps in placement & finishing of the margins on the prepared tooth. 1/17/2017 12 Prasad Adhapure , Jitendra Bhandari & Jitendra Shinde . Advances In Soft Tissue Management: A Review.
