Résumé

L’hypertrophie gingivale est souvent observée en cours de 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. La gingivectomie est l’intervention de choix pour traiter les hyperplasies et les hypertrophies gingivales, et elle consiste en une exérèse gingivale par incision. Un cas d’hypertrophie gingivale localisée en cours de traitement orthodontique est rapporté chez une jeune sénégalaise. Le lambeau de Widman modifié associé à un remodelage du contour osseux a été réalisé et a permis d’obtenir une morphologie gingivale favorable au contrôle de plaque, permettant la poursuite du traitement orthodontique. Le confort lié à la mise en place de sutures après exérèse de la gencive et à l’hémostase contrôlée fait du lambeau de Widman modifié une intervention de choix dans le traitement de l’hypertrophie gingivale. Un suivi rigoureux est nécessaire de même que la coopération entre l’orthodontiste et le parodontologiste.

Abstract
Treatment of localized gingival hypertrophy induced by orthodontic appliances using modified Widman flap. A 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. This case-report shows localized gingival hypertrophy in young Senegalese female undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. Modified Widman flap associated with osseous recontouring have led to morphological conditions of gingiva allowing better plaque control and orthodontic treatment going on. Comfort and controlled haemostasis after periodontal surgery make this procedure a good choice for treatment of gingival hypertrophy. Collaboration between orthodontist and periodontist is required for successful therapeutic.
