• Gingivoplasty

Phenolic compounds
• Phenolics– Eugenol
– Thymol.
– Menthol
– Eucalyptol
– Cineole
– Terpinen-4-ol
– Triclosan (Irgacare)
Some phenolic compounds have inherent anti-inflammatory properties, by inhibiting enzyme pathways which produce cytokines and mediators
Can chemical plaque control compare to interdental cleaning?
• Colgate Total with NO interdental cleaning versus regular dentifrice WITH regular interdental cleaning
• Reduced plaque and gingivitis from baseline to comparable levels
• [Kocher et al. 2000]
• Brushing with Colgate Total with NO interdental cleaning versus regular dentifrice and daily flossing
• Interdental plaque formation and gingivitis was reduced to levels at or below that achieved by flossing.
• Kocher et al. 2000
• Brushing with a conventional toothpaste plus rinsing twice daily with Listerine with no flossingversus Brushing regular dentifrice and daily flossing
• Interdental plaque formation and gingivitis was reduced to levels at or below that achieved by flossing
• Sharma et al. 2002; Bauroth et al. 2003
Listerine uses Lipophilic actives that are insoluble in water but soluble in ethanol
– Thymol
– Eucalyptol
– Menthol
– Methyl salicylate
– Eugenol
– Cineole
– Terpinen-4-ol
It is now believed that efficacy and taste of antiseptic mouth rinses such as Listerine is due to the bioavailability after dissolution of the four active ingredients.

Reduced ethanol: Listerine Zero
• Availability of the active ingredients is maintained by addition of propylene glycol and glycerin as co-solvents.
• The reduced alcohol antiseptic mouthwash has similar oral antimicrobial efficacy, clarity and taste as other compositions of Listerine.
• US Patent 5,723,106 (1998) Reduced alcohol mouthwash antiseptic and antiseptic preparation.
Direct comparison• Regular fluoride
toothpaste,
• plus Listerinemouthrinse (20 mL for 30 seconds twice daily for six months)
[Charles et al. 2001]
• Colgate Total toothpaste (brushed for 60 sec)
• plus a placebo rinse
Listerine rinse had greater effect on plaque.
No significant difference in gingivitis between the two options
• The combination of stabilised stannous fluoride and sodium hexametaphosphate solves the two major concerns which have limited the use of stannous fluoride in oral care products in the past - its stability in the product and its tendency to cause discolouration.
Bio-available Sn and F ions
Stabilized SnF2 dentifrice
• suppresses the development of dental plaque by impairing the normal adhesion and cohesion events which bind bacteria to one another and to the pellicle
• reduces the biomass and complexity of dental plaque, without the risk of developing resistant bacteria because the growth of most bacteria is suppressed equally
• typical reductions in bleeding of 57% over 6 months versus a negative control
FX on plaque and gingivitis
Lower plaque viability• Compared to a negative
control toothpaste which lacks stannous fluoride, Oral-B Pro-Health gives up to a 33% reduction in the levels of dental plaque bacteria at 12 hours following tooth brushing.
SHMP FX on calculus
SHMP is a polymeric phosphate with 10 to 12 repeating pyrophosphate subunits, giving it a stronger attraction to hydroxyapatite relative to other commonly used pyrophosphates; greater coverage of the tooth surface; and improved substantivity, thereby increasing its potential to prevent spontaneous crystallisation at the enamel surface (i.e. calculus formation). Compared with pyrophosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate has greater effectiveness as a mineralisation inhibitor because it resists hydrolysis and its degradation products (which are shorter-chain polyphosphates) maintain some level of activity.

Battle of the brands• Compared to Colgate Total ®, a commonly used
fluoride toothpaste based on triclosan copolymer technology, Oral-B Pro-Health ™ has shown greater inhibitory effects on dental plaque formation in clinical trials, at 3 weeks (17-30% less), and at 6 weeks (45% less).
Total® low-responders• 38 low responders selected from 91 subjects using
Colgate Total for 6 months were then enrolled in a further study in which they were crossed over to ProHealth. They had shown no or minimal gingivitis response to Total.
• They used Oral-B Pro-Health for 3 months, brushing twice daily for 60 seconds.
• They gained a 54% reduction in gingivitis compared to their baseline, with a 55% reduction in their bleeding scores.

Mixing and matching
• Toothbrush –manual or powered
• Toothpaste
• Interdental cleaners (several?)
• Mouthrinse
• Tooth Mousse Plus or plain Tooth Mousse
Combining products togetherExample of combination strategy 1
• Oral-B powered brush with feedback system to track areas/force/time
• Colgate Total or Oral-B Pro-Health toothpaste
• Philips Airfloss with Listerine liquid for interdental cleaning
• Listerine rinse after flossing and brushing
• Smear on GC Tooth Mousse Plus before bed
Example of combination strategy 2
• Oral-B powered brush with feedback system to track areas/force/time
• Oral-B Pro-Health toothpaste
• Airfloss loaded with Pro-Health CPC rinse
• Oral-B Pro-Health CPC rinse
• Smear on GC Tooth Mousse Plus

Optimal aesthetics
• The appearance and form of the gingival tissues must be
– Free of inflammation
– Symmetrical: correct heights and zeniths
– Harmoniously balanced with the dentition and peri-oral tissues.
Points to ponder
• oral hygiene habits
• periodontal attachment levels
• mucogingival architecture
• tissue biotype
• gingival tissue thickness and consistency
• papilla form
• crown/root ratios
• crestal bone levels
• Will there be infringement of the biological width, and thus is resection of bone required ?
– Canine guidance or group function on lateral excursions
– Incisor relationship (OB/OJ)
• Radiographs– Crestal bone levels
(PA/OPG)
– Crown:root ratio.
Normal proportions
• Gillen (1994) analyzed normative tooth proportion and reported: – a) central incisors and canines are approximately equal in
length and are usually 20% longer than the lateral incisors
– b) with respect to the width, the central incisors are 25% wider than the laterals and 10% wider than the canines.
– C) The length-to-width ratio of the canines and the lateral incisors are both 1.2:1 whereas the length-to-width ratio of central incisors are 1.1:1.
Gingival Height of Contour (HOC)The HOC of the central incisors is at the same level of the
canines, whereas the HOC of the laterals incisors are about 1 mm lower.

Gingival Zenith (GZ)GZ is slightly distal to the midline for MX central incisors and canines, whereas GZ is at the midline on MX lateral incisors.

Gingivectomy / Gingivoplasty
• Indications: to eliminate gingival enlargements, interdental craters, reverse soft tissue architecture where there is sufficient width of attached gingiva.
• Contraindications:
• where there is minimal amount of attached keratinized gingiva,
• the base of the pockets approaches or extends beyond the mucogingival junction,
• when osseous defects exists or new attachment procedures are planned.
Choice of instrumentation
• Minor gingivoplasty on a single tooth– Trichloracetic acid (extreme care needed!)
– Ceramic bur
• Multiple teeth or gingivectomy?– Scalpel
– Electrosurgery
– Lasers: greater precision• Contact or defocussed
• Wavelength? Multiple diode lasers available
Low cost, portable diode lasersfor minor surgical procedures
Gingivoplasty:using diode lasers
• During treatment or at the end of treatment
• In-house control of procedure
• No bleeding, excellent healing
• Don’t violate biological width (know what to refer out!)
