“…Work on dogs by Wilderman, Wentz and Orban (1960), West and Bloom (1961) and Glickman et al (1963) showed that there was risk of a significant amount of bone resorption when the periosteum was removed. Pfeifer (1963) confirmed these observations in humans finding that the amount of resorption and sequestration of the crestal portion of the bone varied with the amount of bone exposed and the nature of the protection but was not very great and lasted only from the fourth to the tenth post-operative day.…”

Deepening of the inferior labial vestibule was undertaken according to the technique of Edlan and Mejchar on 25 patients aged 17–55 years (X =). Observations were made at intervals, the total period ranging from (X =). Mean vestibular depth before operation was 2.24 ± 0.15 and post‐operatively 6.96 ± 0.23, the difference of 4.72 mm. was statistically significant (P < 0.01). Pre‐operatively the gingival state on the labial aspect of the mandibular central incisors showed a mean value of 2.28 ± 0.36 units and 0.90 ± 0.20 units post‐operatively. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). The Plaque Index pre‐operatively was 1.70 ± 0.31 and 0.88 ± 0.20 post‐operatively (difference ‐ significant: P < 0.05). The correlation coefficient between the plaque and gingivitis scores before operation, r =+0.36, and post‐operately, r =+ 0.43 suggests that there was a definite relation which was strengthened as a result of the operation. It is concluded that when there is only a limited amount or no gingival tissue on the labial aspect of the mandibular anterior teeth, but no pockets the technique provides a predictable way in which gingival health can be achieved and maintained.

“…This will reduce the amount of crestal bone lost from the donor site. 10,22 If the labial bone is prominent careful dissection is also necessary to prevent perforating the tissue at the mucogingival junction. The authors have observed successful results, however, when the gingiva was almost severed from the mucosa but was saved by careful suturing.…”

The Postgraduate Committee of Indiana University School of Dentistry announces the following short courses and symposia will be offered in 1965-66. All short courses will be held in the Dental School Building, and symposia in the Indiana State Board of Health Building.May 11, 1966: The Relationship of Occlusion to Periodontics. -This symposium will be presented by a guest lecturer and the Department of Periodontics staff. It will cover primarily the relationship and the role of occlusion and its adjustment in the patient with periodontal disease. January 12, 19, 26 and February 2, 9, 16, 1966: Periodontics. -The participants in this course will have lectures in the morning and will work on patients in the afternoon. The newer concepts of treatment will be demonstrated and the participants will also have the opportunity to use these methods. A guest lecturer will appear on one of the day's programs and will also offer a demonstration at that time. Fee, $1 50.00. July 23, 24, 1966: Modern Concepts of the Etiology, Prognosis and Treatment of Periodontal Disease. -There will be a guest lecturer. Fee, $75.00. For further information, write the Dean,

“…However, more recently, these surgical methods have become less frequently employed. Animal wotind healing studies (Zander & Matherson 1963, Glickman et al 1963 showed that the gingiva governs the contour of the underlying alveolar bone and not vice versa as was previously thought (Schluger 1949). Moreover, the shape of interdental tissues depends largely on the shape and contour of the proximal tooth surfaces and crown form (Zander & Matherson 1963).…”

The effects of the inverse bevel flap procedure on gingival contour and plaque accumulation

Periodontal surgery should eliminate disease and produce a good gingival contour to allow ease of cleaning and maintenance. An important factor in the achievement of these aims may be the contour of the attached gingiva following surgery. At present, gingival contour is evaluated by one of two indices. A new disease-related gingival contour index was designed and compared with existing indices (plaque index, periodontal index, sulcus bleeding index) following inverse bevel flap procedures. The results demonstrated that there was a statistically significant increase in the scores for gingival contour (p less than 0.001) a significant decrease in scores for the periodontal index (p less than 0.001) and sulcus bleeding index (p less than 0.05), but no change in the amounts of plaque accumulating (p greater than 0.7).
