Abstract
In Chile, the periodontal treatment performed in secondary care has historically focused on infection control. However, due to the high demand for cases involving periodontal tissues without periodontitis, there is now a new reality that must focus clinical attention on the use of new techniques and surgical procedures designed to restore lost or mutilated periodontal tissues. This case report presents the work of the El Salvador Hospital Dental Department of East Metropolitan Health Service (SSMO), where periodontal plastic surgery techniques to treat complex cases have been performed since 2006.
