Restorative dentistry I.
Subgingival defects

Main problems
 Substantial loss of hard dental tissues

Subgingival cervical borders – difficulties with dry operative field
(bleeding, sulcular liquid)
Adhesive procedures in region without enamel
– consider selfetching adhesive

          SUBGINGIVAL DEFECTS
Technical parameters:
Possibility to keep the operating field dry
Biological parameters: measurement of distance between clean gingival border and insertion of
periodontal ligament or crest of alveolar bone using periodontal probe and/or xray.
Biological width

Classification of subgingival defects
1. Ruberdam is possible to use, gingival border can be seen.
2. Rubberdam does not allow complete isolation of operating field, biological width is ok.
3. Subgingival defect, biological width is affected.

Solution
1. Margin elevation – cervical margin relocation  using flowable material or composite filling
materiál
 2. Gingivectomy + gingivoplasty
 3. Elongation of clinical crown – crown lenghtening (gingivectomy + ostectomy)
Reconstruction: direct or indirect

Cervical margin relocation
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION – MARGIN RELOCATION •
 Consider possibility of effect of rubberdam and biological width •

Cervical margin relocation
Application of rubberdam
Matrix band – can be cut (appr.3 - 5 mm)
Tihgtening of the matrix with the retainer
Insertion of a wooden wedge
Adhesive procedure  consider selfetching adhesive system
Flowable
Composite







New margin
