T his is a report of a 38‐year‐old white female who developed severe gingival damage after impression for a full crown with vinyl polysiloxane material. Treatment of the lesion consisted of a gingival graft placed directly on bone. A one‐year follow‐up showed significant re‐establishment of a healthy gingival complex.
