Mucogingival surgery has evolved in the past decade into periodontal plastic surgery. Periodontal plastic surgery deals with those regenerative and reconstructive procedures designed not only to restore form and function but also to enhance esthetics. This paper reviews those techniques that currently comprise periodontal plastic surgery as well as the current literature pertinent to this topic. The role of the dental laser as well as its limitations will also be discussed.
