What is the difference between gingivectomy and gingivoplasty?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In gingivectomy, excess tissue is removed, while in gingivoplasty, existing tissue is reshaped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Is gingivectomy painful?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. It is performed under local anesthesia and is painless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. What is the recovery time after gingivectomy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It usually heals within 1\u20132 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. How is the smile aesthetics after gingivoplasty?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth lengthen, the tooth-gum ratio improves, and a more aesthetic smile is achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9. What are the causes of gum enlargement?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medication use (e.g., epilepsy medications), hormonal changes, plaque buildup, and genetic factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10. Can laser be used to treat gum hyperplasia?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Laser provides faster healing and less bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11. What is gum recession?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gum retracts downwards from the root surface, exposing the root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12. What causes gum recession?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Improper brushing, trauma, genetic predisposition, gum disease and orthodontic treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>13. Can receding gums be treated?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. It can be closed with connective tissue grafts or other surgical methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>14. What is a connective tissue graft?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the transplantation of tissue taken from the palate area to the area where the gums have receded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>15. Is a connective tissue graft painful?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is performed under local anesthesia, and the patient does not feel pain during the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>16. What is the recovery time after connective tissue graft?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recovery occurs in approximately 2\u20133 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>17. What are the aesthetic results of a connective tissue graft?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The receding gums are closed, the tooth roots are not visible and a more youthful smile is achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>18. What is a free gingival graft?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the transplantation of thin gum tissue taken from the palate or another area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>19. In which cases is free gingival graft applied?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the gum thickness is insufficient or tissue augmentation is required for denture compatibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20. What is the advantage of a free gingival graft?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It increases gum thickness and reduces the risk of future recession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>21. What is frenectomy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the surgical cutting\/correction of the lip or tongue tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>22. How is tongue tie (ankyloglossia) treated?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With frenectomy, the tongue tie is cut and the tongue is allowed to move freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>23. Can frenectomy be performed for lip tie aesthetics?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, the upper lip tie can be removed for aesthetic and orthodontic reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>24. Can frenectomy be performed with laser?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Less bleeding means faster healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>25.
