An Alternative and Addition to Electrosurgery and the ScalpelIntegrating new technology into a modern dental practice has become an everyday fact of life. Some of these new clinical products makeclinical chairside dentistry less complicated and more productive. The NTI® Soft Tissue Trimmer by Axis Dental, is a flame shaped hard oxideceramic cylinder. It is used in the high-speed handpiece at full RPM without water coolant spray to excise and contour soft gingival tissuewith minimal bleeding. Unlike radiosurgery or electrosurgery, there is little risk of over-heating the surgical site and compromising the bone.

New Technology with a Different TwistMost dental surgeons are very skilled at removing hard dental tooth structure with the high-speed handpiece. The technology transfer of theNTI® Soft Tissue Trimmer is the same, except no water coolant spray is needed. This trimmer should be thought of as a rotating scalpelfor soft tissue that promotes coagulation for minimal bleeding.

Indications:

• Contouring of gingiva for cosmetics

• Contouring of inflamed gingival soft tissue

• Widening the sulcus for fixed prosthodontic impressions

• Exposing deep cervical caries or external resorption

• Operculectomy

• Recovering intraosseous implants

• Exposing partially erupted wisdom / fractured teeth

• Excising granulation tissue

• Crown lengthening

Case #1:  One of the more common usesof the NTI® Soft Tissue Trimmer is to widenthe gingival sulcus of terminal molar teethfor fixed prosthodontic impressioning. In thiscase, tooth #15 had a porcelain failure on acrown with very deep subgingival margins.

The crown was removed after localanesthetic was placed. Several passes weremade circumferentially around the tooth, atfull RPM, with no water spray. This removedunwanted tissue for easier access andimproved visibility.

A new chamfer margin was placed onthe tooth and Racord #10 cord (dippedin hemodent) was placed for 20 minutes.The surgical site was rinsed thoroughlybefore removing the cord to minimize anybleeding. Impressioning and temporizationwere completed with no bleeding fromthe surgical site. [CDT code No. D4211gingivectomy per tooth]

Case #2:  Tooth #18 required full crowncoverage to negate “cracked-tooth-syndrome.” The large distal wedge of tissuetook 40 seconds to remove with severallingual to buccal passes. The tissue seems tocut more cleanly if the passes are always inthe same direction.

The final chamfer margin was placed.Racord #10 with hemodent was placed for20 minutes. The area was rinsed thoroughlybefore the cord was removed and a veryclean quadrant impression was obtained.

A Bis-acryl temporary crown was placed anda photo was taken immediately to showtissue health and lack of necrosis or charringfrom the NTI® Soft Tissue Trimmer [CDTCode No. D04211 gingivectomy per tooth].
