Inadequate vestibular depth causes deficiency in width of keratinised gingiva which ultimately results in poor plaque control and difficulty in maintenance. Vestibuloplasty is a novel procedure for managing shallow vestibular depth and can be achieved with scalpel, electrocautery, cryosurgery, or laser.
