“Z Plasty- An Elixir for Mucogingival Deformity”

Abstract

Objective- The objective of this case report is to assess whether a Z-plasty of the lower labial frenum can increase the vestibular depth, the width of attached gingiva, and eliminate the aberrant frenal attachment. A 29 year ol Clinical consideration- d female presented for esthetic rectication associated with gingival recession and pathological migration of lower central incisors. The mandibular central incisors were associated with gingival recession due to shallow vestibular depth, high frenal attachment and inadequate width of attached gingiva. Z plasty of lower labial frenum was done to manage this predicament. Satisfactory clinical results were observed This case report demonstrates a type of single stage Conclusionperiodontal plastic surgery aimed at increasing the vestibular depth, replace the sentence - removing aberrant frenal attachments, and widening the width of attached gingiva. The results of the study are encouraging and warrant further case-controlled studies
