  • Pages: 1-6
    • <p>Reduced vestibular depth is often associated with a diminished width of keratinized gingiva, which compromises plaque control and makes oral hygiene maintenance more difficult. Vestibuloplasty is an established procedure for correcting shallow vestibular depth and can be performed using a scalpel, electrocautery, cryosurgery, or laser. With recent advancements in dentistry, laser therapy has become increasingly preferred over conventional techniques owing to its clinical advantages. Among the various options, diode lasers are widely used in oral soft tissue procedures. This case report outlines the management of a shallow vestibule using a diode laser.</p>

COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF GINGIVAL DEPIGMENTATION USING LASER AND ELECTROCAUTERY IN SPLIT MOUTH STUDY: A CASE REPORT

  • Pages: 1-8
    • <p>Background: Gingival hyperpigmentation, caused by increased melanin deposition in the gingival epithelium, is a common esthetic concern, especially in patients with a high smile line. Although physiologic in nature, it often necessitates treatment due to patient demand for improved appearance. Various depigmentation techniques such as scalpel surgery, electrocautery, and laser therapy have been employed, each differing in terms of patient comfort, healing, and clinical outcomes. Among these, diode laser and electrocautery are widely used modalities requiring comparative evaluation</p>

ROLE OF GINGIVAL CREVICULAR FLUID (GCF) IN PERIODONTAL HEALTH – A REVIEW

Dr. Janardhana Amaranath B.J, Dr. Shruti Gupta

  • Pages: 1-7
    • <p>Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) is a biologically significant fluid present in the gingival sulcus and periodontal pocket. It plays an essential role in maintaining periodontal health and serves as an important diagnostic medium in periodontal disease. GCF contains a wide range of cellular and biochemical constituents, including inflammatory cells, enzymes, antibodies, cytokines, and tissue breakdown products, which reflect the metabolic and immunologic status of periodontal tissues. In health, GCF contributes to cleansing the gingival sulcus, antimicrobial defense, and immune surveillance. During inflammation, both the quantity and composition of GCF change markedly, making it a useful indicator of periodontal disease activity. Recent advances in biomarker research and chairside diagnostic tools have further enhanced its clinical relevance.</p>
