Objective: Describes and compare the procedure of superior labial frenum frenectomies with conventional technique and incision below the clamp technique.Methods: Two female patient came to Departement of periodonsia, Unhas Dental Hospital to have frenectomies. The first patient was 28 year old with labialis superior frenulum reached attached gingiva, gingival recession 1-2 mm with calculus deposits, and referred to do frenectomy with Incision below the Clamp. While the second patient was 15 year old with labialis superior frenulum extend up to palatine papilla, central diastema and referred to do frenectomy with conventional technique.Results: The conventional techniques is done by engaged the frenum by a haemostat that inserted into the depth of the vestibule, and incision were placed on the upper and the under surface of haemostat, then followed by suturing the wound and periodontal pack. Insision below the clamp technique is done by placing a hemostat in position adjacent and parallel to the lip mucosa, and incision carried out below the clamp, then followed by suturing at the mucolabial fold and periodontal pack.Conclusions: Patients were very satisfied with the results that achieved. Technique Incision below the Clamp is an alternative treatment with good aesthetic and less bleeding during frenectomies by using a scalpel.

Masalah dan tujuan: Senyuman dapat menunjang penampilan dan menambah kepercayaan diri seseorang. Senyuman terbentuk dari harmonisasi yang baik antara gigi dalam relasi dengan tulang alveolar dan gingiva sebagai bagian dari rongga mulut. Excessive ginigival display (EGD) atau gummy smile, mahkota klinis yang pendek dan gingiva yang berwarna kecoklatan sering menjadi keluhan pasien. Salah satu penyebab gummy smile dan mahkota klinis pendek adalah altered passive eruption. Gingiva berwarna kecoklatan disebabkan oleh hiperpigmentasi melanin. Laporan kasus ini bertujuan untuk memaparkan koreksi altered passive eruption dengan bedah crown lengthening dan depigmentasi gingiva yang berwarna kecoklatan untuk mengembalikan fungsi dan estetika. Kasus: Seorang pria berusia 25 tahun datang ke Bagian Periodonsia RSGM Unhas, dengan keluhan gigi depan atas terlihat pendek dan gusi berwarna coklat.

The aim of this literature review was to study the underlying mechanisms of the association between periodontal disease and prostate cancer. Methods: This study was literature review study, pubmed searching was used to find scientific article about association of periodontal disease and prostate cancer. Results: Direct correlation between periodontal disease and prostrate cancer is still unclear. It was hyphotesized that microorganisms involved in chronic periodontitis may directly induce mutations in the tumor-suppresor genes and proto-oncogenes or alter the signalling pathways that in turn stimulates cancer growth. Conclusion: Periodontal disease may associate to prostate cancer by mutation induction in tumor-suppresor genes.
