Notes:
Vestibular sulcus extension surgery was performed on 16 patients. The periodontal condition was assessed by measuring the depth of the periodontal pockets and from colour photographs just before and 12 months after the operation. An X-ray cephalometric examination was carried out before, immediately after the operation and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months later. An analysis of the radiographs to determine the depth of the vestibule sulcus showed that during the first month there was a marked relapse, though with some residual gain, which steadily increased up to the 12-month followup. The ultimate gain was on average 2-3 mm (x = 2.1 mm). There was no difference between the pre- and postoperative mobility of the bestibular sulcus. There was no correlation between the increase in the depth of the vestibular sulcus and the periodontal condition. The symptoms and signs associated with the operation were minor.
