Cette invention concerne un appareil dentaire (10) servant à déplacer le tissu gingival lors d'une procédure de restauration. L'appareil dentaire (10) comprend une pastille en mousse de polyuréthane souple comprenant un orifice central (12) traversant la pastille. Cet orifice central (12) est conçu pour recevoir une dent et la pastille en mousse présente une dimension, une forme et une souplesse suffisantes pour que le rebord gingival entourant la dent soit dévié. L'appareil dentaire (10) peut être constitué d'une mousse à alvéoles ouverts qui peut retenir efficacement un médicament destiné à être libéré sur le tissu gingival. Le médicament peut être combiné à un excipient afin qu'on obtienne un composé gélatinisé imprégné dans la pastille. Une couronne temporaire peut être utilisée pour pousser l'appareil dentaire (10) sur une dent préparée et sur le rebord gingival entourant la dent, de façon que l'ensemble du rebord gingival soit déplacé simultanément.
