Résumé

L’hypertrophie gingivale est souvent observée au cours du traitement orthodontique. Les dispositifs orthodontiques fixés sont des facteurs d’irritation et de rétention de la plaque, qui rendent difficile le contrôle de l’inflammation. Deux cas d’hypertrophie gingivale associés au port de dispositifs orthodontiques sont rapportés chez deux jeunes sénégalaises. La gingivectomie-gingivoplastie a été réalisée dans les deux cas et a permis d’obtenir une morphologie gingivale favorable au contrôle de plaque, permettant la poursuite du traitement orthodontique. Des contrôles réguliers tout particulièrement chez l’enfant et l’adolescent sont indispensables au maintien d’une santé parodontale compatible avec les mouvements dentaires imposés au cours du traitement orthodontique. Ce suivi rigoureux rend nécessaire une collaboration entre l’orthodontiste et le parodontologiste.

Abstract
Management of gingival enlargement induced by orthodontic treatment using external bevel gingivectomy : case report

Gingival enlargement is a condition that commonly develops during orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic appliances are irritation and retention plaque factors holding up oral hygiene and control of gingival inflammation. Two cases of gingival hypertrophy in young Senegalese females undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances are described and treated by gingivectomy. This surgical procedure have led to morphological conditions of gingiva allowing better plaque control and the orthodontic treatment going on. Periodical controls in child and adolescent are required for healthy periodontium during orthodontic therapy. Collaboration between orthodontist and periodontist is one of the most important keys to successful treatment.
