Periodontal plastic surgery comprises an increasing part of clinical periodontology. Clinical trials have traditionally used professionals to judge esthetic outcome, and few studies have addressed patient needs and requests (true end points). Development of universally accepted and validated methods for professional esthetic assessment, together with standardized questionnaires for patient-perceived outcome, may help to provide better insights into the true needs and benefits of periodontal and implant-associated plastic surgery. In this volume of Periodontology 2000, experienced researchers and clinicians from different subdisciplines of periodontology evaluate: treatment of gingival recession with or without papilla elevation; clinical crown lengthening in the natural dentition and in prosthodontic preparative treatment; periodontal regeneration around natural teeth; and soft-tissue augmentation in edentulous areas. Similarly, experts in different areas of implant science address esthetic outcomes with single and multiple implant rehabilitation, alveolar ridge preservation, implant positioning and immediate implant placement in the esthetic zone.
牙周整形手术包含了临床牙周病学日益增长的一部分。临床试验传统上使用专业人员来判断美观效果，而很少有研究涉及患者的需求和请求（真正的终点）。开发普遍接受和验证的专业美学评估方法，以及用于患者感知结果的标准化问卷，可能有助于更好地了解牙周和种植相关整形手术的真正需求和益处。在这一期《牙周病学 2000》中，来自牙周病学不同亚专业的经验丰富的研究人员和临床医生评估了：带或不带乳头提升的牙龈退缩治疗；天然牙和修复预备治疗中的临床牙冠延长；天然牙周围的牙周再生；以及无牙区的软组织增加。同样，来自不同种植科学领域的专家也涉及单颗和多颗种植体修复、牙槽嵴保存、种植体定位和在美学区即刻种植体放置的美观效果。
