― GINGIVAL MASK ‖ — Restoring the lost smile .

Periodontal attachment loss in the maxillary anterior region can often lead to esthetic and functional clinical problems including disproportional and elongated clinical crowns and visible interdental embrasures. Gingival replacement prosthesis have historically been used to replace lost tissue. An acrylic resin gingival veneer is an easily constructed, inexpensive, and practical device to optimize the esthetic and functional outcome in these special situations while permitting cleansibility of the prosthesis and supporting tissues. This is a case report of a young female patient treated using an acrylic gingival veneer with a two-year follow-up. The acrylic gingival mask, has enabled the patient to regain her lost smile and face people with newly found confidence also enhancing the esthetic appearance. Virtually no problem was encountered during the two years of usage of the veneer and the patient continues to use it comfortably.
