Description: Aesthetic or Periodontal plastic surgery has as its primary goal for the restoration or enhancement of the esthetic component of the supporting and surrounding tissue of the teeth or their substitute. This can be accomplished by re-shaping the form as well as by grafting or implanting natural or synthetic device and materials to replace missing tissue or teeth. In the current practice of Periodontics, clinicians are faced with the challenge of not only addressing the biologic and functional problems present in the periodontium but also providing therapy that result in acceptable esthetics.
