Abstract
In most patients with severe crowding or lip protrusion, orthodontic treatment with tooth extraction is done. In these patients, even though space is closed after orthodontic treatment, gingival invagination is observed on the extracted site. Since there are possibilities of space recurrence and regional periodontic problems occurrence, periodontic treatment is necessary on the gingival invagination region. This case was a 16 year old female with a chief complaint of crooked teeth. Since her maxillary premolars were already extracted a few years ago at a local dental clinic, orthodontic treatment was done by extracting mandibular premolars. Unlike maxillary premolar regions, gingival invagination occurred in mandibular premolar regions and gingival flattening was done by excising the gingival invaginated region. Gingival flattening was done once on the left side, twice on the right side and showed stable results. This is a case report of a patient that was prone to gingival invagination after orthodontic treatment with extraction and was treated with gingival flattening.
