Soft Tissue Fillers in Periodontics

Soft Tissue Fillers in Periodontics explores the emerging role of dermal fillers, particularly hyaluronic acid (HA), in modern periodontal practice. The book highlights the shift from conventional surgical approaches toward minimally invasive, patient-centered treatment aimed at improving both function and esthetics.HA fillers have shown promising results in managing black triangles, enhancing gingival thickness, improving periodontal phenotype, and correcting excessive gingival display. These fillers provide immediate soft-tissue augmentation, promote tissue hydration and healing, and offer reduced morbidity and faster recovery compared to surgical procedures.The review also discusses regenerative approaches such as injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), microneedling, and vitamin C, which further enhance soft-tissue healing and regeneration. Overall, soft-tissue fillers represent a promising, minimally invasive adjunct in contemporary periodontics, offering new possibilities for soft-tissue enhancement and esthetic rehabilitation.
