The Esthetics of Artificial Gingiva and Complete Dentures

Marie-Violaine Berteretche, DDS, PhD/ livier Hüe, DDS, PhD

Pages: 20-31

Patients’ esthetic demands are increasing daily and now extend to the artificial gingiva of removable dentures. This article proposes a systematic approach to analyze and reproduce the gingival characteristics. This three-step process involves the gingival display of the smile line, gingival pigmentation, and gingival morphology. Different procedures using either polymethyl methacrylate resins and/or composite resins can be used to reproduce the gingival features. These innovative techniques make it possible to produce highly esthetic complete dentures for edentulous patients presenting with a “gummy” smile, and the results offer satisfactory long-term stability.
