Abstract
Background: Sometimes gingival retractions are associated with high muscular tensional forces and shallow vestibules. Such retractions cause periodontal problems to patients due to the cleaning access limitations. Edlan Mejchar vestibuloplasty technique allows controlling, in one intervention and a single surgical field, etiological factors and a creeping gingival attachment by eliminating tensional forces. Purpose: To describe the effectiveness of Edlan Mejchar technique to solve gum retractions caused by tensional forces in four clinical cases. Description of cases: Four patients with gingival retractions in lower incisors and little adhered gingiva due to lower lip frenulum tension seek dental treatment. Edlan Mejchar vestibuloplasty was the surgical treatment chosen, which consisted of supraperiosteal incisions and internal dissections in connective tissue. Results: The percentage of root coverage achieved was close to 60 % and abnormal frenulum insertions were eliminated. Conclusion: Vestibuloplasty through Edlan Mejchar technique showed favorable results in the cases described in which the labial frenum exerted tensional forces on the periodontium of lower anterior teeth.
