Aesthetic treatments related to the perfect smile are important in contemporary clinical dentistry. The disharmony of the smile, often called the gummy smile, can be caused by vertical maxillary growth, dentoalveolar extrusion, short upper lip, hyperactivity of the upper lip, altered passive eruption (APE), or a combination of such factors. Some studies mention the possibility of APE being a risk factor for periodontal disease. In some cases, excessive gingival can interfere with oral hygiene procedures and result in plaque accumulation and inflammation of the gingival margin. The management of APE is by periodontal crown lengthening surgery. The selection of the crown lengthening technique is adjusted to the classification, thickness, and number of keratinized gingiva, as well as the location of the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) or bone peak against the gingival margin.

Pandemi Covid-19 berdampak pada pelayanan kesehatan gigi dan mulut. Kunjungan ke dokter gigi selama pandemi disarankan untuk kasus-kasus darurat seperti infeksi.

Background: Epilepsy is a neurological condition that around 70 million people worldwide have. Phenytoin is the most common anti-epileptic therapy for controlling epilepsy and preventing its recurrence. The side effect of phenytoin therapy includes gingival overgrowth which often causes psychological and aesthetical problems, interferes with normal mastication, and worsen the gingival inflammation. There are surgical and non-surgical options to treat phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth, one of the non-surgical options to treat phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth. One of the non-surgical treatment for phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth is folic acid  supplementation, which has been studied to prevent the adverse side effects of phenytoin therapy despite the variative results. Objective: To discover the current theory depiction about the effect of folic acid supplementation on gingival overgrowth due to phenytoin therapy. Method: The type of the research is descriptive observational research and method of scoping review. Journals obtained using PCC (population, concept, and context) with population of patients on phenytoin therapy, using concept of preventing phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth using agent supplementation, and context of folic acid. The inclusion and exclusion criteria filtered by boolean search on two databases, PubMed and Google Scholar from 1987 to 2020. Results: A total of 5 journals found and all of them are included in a table with the results of the studies discussing about folic acid supplementation in phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth. Conclusion: Folic acid supplementation was found to delay the onset, reduce the incidence and severity as well as the risk of recurrence after gingivectomy on phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth.

<strong><em>Background:</em></strong><em> Diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease are a multifactorial diseases which have a bidirectional relationship. Diabetes mellitus can increase the risk of periodontal diseases while periodontal disease can interfere the glycemic control in diabetic patients by increasing insulin resistance. The epidemiology of both diseases are known to be related by the individuals characteristics of sociodemographic such as gender, age, educational level, socioeconomic and lifestyle. <strong>Objective:</strong> The aim of this study was to see the sociodemographic characteristics of diabetes mellitus patients with periodontal disease based on gender, age, educational level, socioeconomy, and lifestyle. <strong>Method:</strong> This type of research is a scoping review using Pubmed and Google Scholar as an electronic databases. Journals with observational study design, such as cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort in English and being published since 2019 were included in the inclusion criteria. <strong>Results:</strong> 6 journals were obtained according to the inclusion criteria. The increased risk of periodontal disease have a variation in gender, age, and socioeconomic variables. Meanwhile, the variables of educational level and smoking lifestyle showed that there was no variation in the increased risk of periodontal disease. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Characteristic of sociodemographic in diabetes mellitus patients suffering periodontal disease have a variations in each variables.</em>
