Gingival contouring: Removing redundant tissue
Prior to impression-taking or cementation of restorations, PerFect
TCS II may be used to remove redundant tissue that may interfere
with the procedure and help control bleeding.
1. Thread the Long Loop electrode sheath onto the handpiece swivel
connector of the handpiece cord assembly.
2. With the electrode loop parallel to the tissue being removed,
(Figure 12), slice the tissue off in thin layers until the desired
result is obtained.
Remember to allow 10–15 seconds for the tissue to cool before
cutting again in the same area.
Gingival contouring: Aesthetic contouring
PerFect TCS II pays special dividends in tissue contouring for
aesthetic purposes. Frequently a minor procedure can greatly
enhance the patient's appearance. With care and practice, it is
possible to attain precise control of the amount of tissue removed
to ensure superior results, both aesthetically and therapeutically. In
addition, the smooth, pressureless cutting stroke reduces the time
necessary for most aesthetic contouring procedures. You may use
either the Straight Knife or the Long Loop electrode for aesthetic
contouring. Shave or "plane" away tissue in successive thin layers
until the desired appearance is achieved.
Remember to allow 10–15 seconds for the tissue to cool before
cutting again in the same area.
In Figures 13 and 14, the operator has easily corrected a patient's
crooked smile resulting from a marked asymmetry of the gingival
levels of the incisors.
