title: Cosmetic periodontal surgery, Part 2: Using a variations of gingival graft techniques.
abstract: Fortunately, in this particular case, the patient's dental awareness made it possible for her to request correction of her oral health and aesthetics. This illustration demonstrates the aesthetic awareness and desires of today's society. Practitioners must therefore be able to recognize and work toward these goals. By creatively using variations of techniques to achieve this, the art of dentistry is recovered. Achieving health is primary, but being able to provide a maintainable, healthy, and pleasing appearance is also significantly desirable and important.
