Objectives: Schizophrenia is responsible for a significant proportion of burden of mental diseases in Iran. Lack of a follow-up system has resulted in the repeated hospitalizations. In this study it is hypothesized that standardized living skills training delivered to participants with schizophrenia in outpatient and inpatient centers can be effective compared to a  control group (with occ...

Clinical evaluation of the effect of gingival thickness on increasing the width of keratinized and attached gingiva with and without preserving periosteum in an animal study

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The present study was performed in order to assess the effect of gingival thickness on amount of gingival augmentation with and without preserving periosteum.METHODS: The study was conducted on 8 ecotype dogs aged 1-5 years. At the beginning, clinical probing depth and keratinized and attached gingiva width were measured. Totally, 64 sites were operated in this study. Perios...

Clinical evaluation of a collagen matrix to enhance the width of keratinized gingiva around dental implants

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of collagen matrix with apically positioned flap (APF) on the width of keratinized gingiva, comparing to the results of APF only and APF combined with free gingival graft (FGG) at the second implant surgery. METHODS Nine patients were selected from those who had received treatments at the Department of Periodontics, Chosun Universit...

The relationship between the width of keratinized gingiva and gingival health.

Thirty-two dental students between 19-29 years of age with no pathologic pockets performed supervised oral hygiene (daily supervision with the Plak-Lite® dis­ closing system) 3 1 for 6 weeks. Following this period, the gingiva of all buccal and lingual tooth surfaces was assessed using the Gingival Index system. 2 Oral hy­ giene was scored on all surfaces according to the criteria of the Plaque...
