Summary:
Excessive gingival display can be managed by a variety of treatment modalities, depending on the specific diagnosis. This case report demonstrates the successful management of excessive gingival display with a lip-repositioning procedure. This is accomplished by removing a strip of mucosa from the maxillary buccal vestibule, then suturing the lip mucosa to the mucogingival line. This results in a narrower vestibule and restricted muscle pull, thereby reducing gingival display during smiling.

A Decade of the Socket-Shield Technique: A Step-by-Step Partial Extraction Therapy Protocol
Ten years have passed since Hürzeler and coworkers
first introduced the socket-shield technique. Much has
developed and evolved with regard to partial extraction
therapy, a collective concept of utilizing the
patient’s own tooth root to preserve the periodontium
and peri-implant tissue. The specifications, steps, instrumentation,
and procedures discussed in this article
are the result of extensive experience in refining the
socket-shield technique as we know it today. A repeatable,
predictable protocol is requisite to providing
tooth replacement in esthetic dentistry. Moreover, a
standardized protocol provides a better framework for
clinicians to report data relating to the technique with
procedural consistency. This article aims to illustrate a
reproducible, step-by-step protocol for the socket-
shield technique at immediate implant placement
and provisionalization for single-rooted teeth.

Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy: Decision Making in the 21st Century
Non-surgical periodontal therapy is a vital part of everyday dental practice. Since the majority of periodontal therapy is performed by general dentists and dental hygienists, it is critical that clinicians have all of the requisite skills and information needed to perform these services at the highest level possible. The purpose of this presentation is to provide the latest evidence- and practice- based information on periodontal debridement and adjunctive therapies that can improve patient outcomes. Though surgical procedures may still need to be performed in some sites, the majority of inflammatory periodontal disease can be eliminated or reduced significantly using the techniques and protocols discussed in this educational segment on non-surgical periodontal therapy.
