Abstract
ABSTRACT One of the most important parts of an ideal smile is the presence of healthy gingiva. Healthy gingival tissues affect the esthetics, probably much more than teeth, a factor which is most often neglected in esthetic treatment planning. Periodontal flap surgeries often leave open embrasure spaces which are a huge esthetic deficit for the patient. Replacing the missing gingival tissue with composite, ceramic, acrylic or silicone has been reported in the literature. This case report describes the use of a gingival prosthesis fabricated by valplast-a flexible nylon- based material to recreate the lost soft tissue esthetics.
