In 2009, alveolar distraction osteogenesis was performed using a DePuy Synthes alveolar distractor. Subsequently, in 2011, autogenous onlay bone grafting was carried out to optimize the alveolar ridge contour. Four Neodent CM implants were placed in 2012, followed by prosthetic rehabilitation. The 15-year follow-up in 2024 revealed excellent outcomes, with stable peri-implant tissues, maintained bone levels, and a fully functional prosthesis. This case highlights the efficacy of combining advanced surgical techniques, including distraction osteogenesis and autogenous bone grafting, in managing complex CGCG cases. <b>Results and Conclusion:</b> The successful long-term outcome underscores the importance of a comprehensive treatment approach and regular follow-up in addressing the challenges posed by aggressive and recurrent CGCGs.

{"title":"Socket Shield Technique of an Ailing Mandibular Molar With Customized Healing Abutment: Graftless Management of the Hard and Soft Tissue Foundation Around Immediate Dental Implants.","authors":"Sanjay Kumar Sah","doi":"10.1155/crid/9969134","DOIUrl":"10.1155/crid/9969134","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>It is an established fact that postextraction ridge resorptive changes are inevitable and are very evident in the molar areas. Resorption in the molar sites can cause a reduction in the attached gingiva and affect the long-term success of the osseointegrated implant. To prevent significant postextraction tissue alteration, the socket shield technique (SST) was developed to preserve the buccal plate, over a decade ago. Since then, various studies showcasing modifications of the technique have been published mainly focusing on SST in conjunction with immediate implants in the anterior esthetic zone. Gluckman gave a collective term called partial extraction therapy (PET) which includes SST, pontic shield technique, and root submergence technique. He suggested using a graft material in the gap between the shield and the implant. Later, Siormpas et al. advocated a root membrane technique (RMT) and suggested that it may not be necessary to use the graft material. With the evolution of the technique, the terms SST and RMT are more similar to each other now, with the only difference in the sequence of shield preparation and implant placement. The shield is prepared first, and osteotomy is done in the former and osteotomy is done before shield preparation in the latter. The SST technique is often ignored as a possibility in the molar sites. Though technique-sensitive, SST with immediate implants in molars with a customized healing abutment ensures the maintenance of the original hard and soft tissue volumes in the most conservative way. The following case report showcases a stepwise, graftless management approach for a nonrestorable right mandibular molar with SST and immediate implant. Long-term randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on molar SST are encouraged to make a recommendation for routine clinical practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":46841,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Dentistry","volume":"2025 ","pages":"9969134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11858722/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143504810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is typically characterized by blisters within the oral cavity with or without subsequent skin involvement. Given the importance of timely intervention, dental professionals are responsible for diagnosing this condition, as prompt detection and intervention greatly influence the disease progression and prognosis. <b>Case Description:</b> A 44-year-old male patient presented with swollen and bleeding gums, accompanied by multiple chronic ulcers in the oral cavity. He was initially diagnosed with PV in 2018; his case posed significant challenges, including drug-influenced gingival enlargement and the psychological burden of managing a chronic, relapsing condition. <b>Management and Prognosis:</b> The patient received treatment with an immunosuppressive medication (cyclosporin) along with long-term systemic steroids (prednisolone). In November 2022, cyclosporin was replaced with a steroid-sparing medication (methotrexate) to control drug-influenced gingival enlargement. The periodontal condition improved after 3 months of changing the medication regimen, nonsurgical periodontal therapy, and reinforced oral hygiene practices. The patient undergoes regular medical evaluations every 6 months with the dermatology department. <b>Clinical Implications:</b> Effective management of PV necessitates long-term systemic steroid therapy, often supplemented with immunosuppressive agents, to control the disease and minimize relapse risks. Regular clinical assessments are essential for patients receiving steroid and immunosuppressive treatment to monitor potential side effects, including cyclosporin-induced gingival enlargement. If gingival enlargement is compounded by periodontal disease, it can further complicate the management of PV. Drug-induced gingival enlargement has a favorable prognosis and is reversible upon discontinuation or substitution of the causative medication. An interdisciplinary approach involving primary clinicians, dentists, and the healthcare team is crucial to addressing the patient's signs and symptoms effectively.</p>","PeriodicalId":46841,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Dentistry","volume":"2025 ","pages":"8318894"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11835479/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143450763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
