【 摘 要 】

Periodontics is not only charged with resolving infectious processes that affect the periodontium, but is also responsible for preservation of function, comfort and aesthetics of the periodontal tissues. For this reason current plastic periodontal surgery techniques are an essential tool for the resolution of mucogingival defects, where the subepithelial connective tissues, due to their biology, have become the best alternative to resolve the sequelae of maxillo-facial trauma (TMF), fine biotype orthodontic treatment, dentoalveolar trauma (TDA), tumor resection, and treatment of the sequelae of periodontitis. In all of these conditions, the restoration of lost tissue and the modification of existing periodontal biotype dental improves their prognosis. In Chile, the periodontal treatment performed in secondary care has historically focused on infection control. However, due to the high demand for cases involving periodontal tissues without periodontitis, there is now a new reality that must focus clinical attention on the use of new techniques and surgical procedures designed to restore lost or mutilated periodontal tissues. This case report presents the work of the El Salvador Hospital Dental Department of East Metropolitan Health Service (SSMO), where periodontal plastic surgery techniques to treat complex cases have been performed since 2006.
