It may involve modifying soft tissue directly (periodontal contouring) or indirectly by shaping restorative materials that support the gums. It is commonly discussed in cosmetic dentistry, periodontal therapy, and prosthodontics around crowns, veneers, and implant restorations. The goal is a more harmonious contour between teeth, restorations, and surrounding gum tissue."}
