Introduction: Gingival fenestration (GF) is scarcely reported in the literature. We present a unique case of GF defect combined with gingivitis and altered passive eruption (APE).
Case Presentation: An 18-year-old female patient with gingivitis, APE, and GF in the mandibular left central incisor presented for periodontal treatment. The gingival lesion was successfully treated with basic periodontal therapy gingivectomy, and gingivoplasty and resulted in an excellent aesthetic long-term outcome. This case report shows its 8-year clinical follow-up.
Conclusion: There are no earlier reports dealing with the use of gingivoplasty for the treatment of GF, as it is not the usual therapeutic intervention for these defects. Gingivoplasty proved to be effective in treating GF. Why is this case new information? Available literature on gingival fenestration defects does not describe gingivectomy and gingivoplasty as a treatment of choice. Gingivectomy and gingivoplasty proved to be effective in treating gingival fenestration defects. What are the keys to successful management of this case? Proper diagnosis. What are the primary limitations to success in this case? Gingival fenestration has been defined when the overlying gingiva is denuded, exposing the root to the oral cavity. However, in this case report, only the crown was exposed because the patient had altered passive eruption.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the crown-root morphology and alveolar bone structure in incisors for patients with closed deep overbite, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) on 40 subjects.
- Significant differences were found between patients with Class II division 2 malocclusion and control groups in terms of crown-root ratio, angle, and alveolar bone measurements.
- Age and gender influenced root lengths and crown-root angle in the Class II division 2 group, indicating a need for careful orthodontic management to prevent bone complications during tooth movement.

Orthodontic treatment involves moving teeth within the alveolar ridge. Bone remodeling is associated with the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Procedures such as corticotomy-assisted orthodontic therapy (CAOT) or periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) are intended to reduce bone density and negative stress on the grip side and therefore limit bone resorption during orthodontic movement or add bone substitute material so that the tooth does not cross the vestibular plate.

The most prevalent mucogingival issues include insufficient gingival width, decreased vestibular depth, abnormal frenal attachment, gingival recession, pockets that reach the mucogingival junction, excess gingival, inconsistent gingival margin, excessive gingival display and abnormal gingival colour. Numerous periodontal plastic operations have been used to treat these issues. However, each approach has its own drawbacks and is technique-dependent.

Objectives: To investigate whether a labially inclined implant axis compromises the clinical outcomes of immediate implant placement and provisionalization (IIPP) in the anterior maxilla.
Materials And Methods: Patients with unsalvageable central or lateral maxillary incisors were enrolled. IIPP with simultaneous connective tissue graft (CTG) was performed in all participants.

Article Synopsis
- * The report emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis by clinicians to facilitate the eruption of impacted teeth, as initial evaluations can reveal complex underlying causes beyond simple issues.
- * Surgical removal of the odontomes required careful technique to preserve adequate bone structure, ensuring the successful traction of the impacted teeth while avoiding complications like bone loss or gum issues, with pathology results confirming the presence of compound odontomes.
