Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to demonstrate the use of a new computer-assisted surgical guide for periodontal surgery in patients with severe gingival enlargement, specifically hereditary gingival fibromatosis.
- A comprehensive treatment plan included nonsurgical therapy, surgical intervention, and regular maintenance, with a custom surgical guide designed from intraoral scans and CBCT images to improve the surgical process.
- Results showed that the guide enhanced the precision of gingivectomy, making the surgery more efficient and leading to better outcomes in managing soft tissue in affected patients.
