Gingival reattachment on carious tooth surfaces. A 4-year follow-up.

This paper reports the healing after 4 years of a flap coronally repositioned over carious lesions on teeth 23 and 24. Four years postoperatively, the gain of clinical gingival attachment was 4 mm for tooth 23 and 3.6 mm for tooth 24. The carious lesions were covered by soft tissue and a gain of clinical gingival attachment was obtained.

A clinical approach to gingival stimulation.

The role played by gingival stimulation has not yet been clearly explained. This experiment shows (1) that even with regular stimulation of the gingiva with a toothbrush, gingival inflammation indices (GI and SBI) increase when plaque (determined by PII) accumulates on tooth surfaces; and (2) that if one proceeds to routine plaque elimination from the tooth surfaces, gingival inflammation indices (GI and SBI) increase in the absence of regular mechanical stimulation of the gingiva with a toothbrush. In the latter case, inflammation may be related to plaque accumulation on the gingiva.
