Achieving the coverage of multiple adjacent gingival recessions (MAGRs) in a single surgical procedure poses major clinical challenge. The gold standard involves collection autogenous connective tissue from palatal mucosa. In case reduced thickness, augmentation using collagen sponge can be performed. aim this study was to compare treatment outcome MAGR by coronally advanced flap (CAF) along wi...

Extensive gingival recessions associated with cervical abrasions are common among the population. Several different surgical and/or restorative therapies have been proposed to correct these lesions. This manuscript reports the treatment of multiple gingival recessions associated to cervical abrasions. The procedure involved the utilization of subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) combine...

AIM To review the scientific preclinical background and clinical studies of current methods of periodontal regeneration in the treatment of infrabony defects and soft tissue deficiencies. METHOD Five commissioned review papers including two systematic reviews were scrutinized by a group of experts in order to derive consensus conclusions, clinical relevance/implications and to propose future ...

Reconstruction of subtotal maxillectomy defects with columella deficit is challenging. We report a unique case facial reconstruction using free radial forearm flap and preauricular for the deficit. A 73-year-old woman was diagnosed recurrent sebaceous carcinoma nose. performed wide excision, including areas right cheek, nose, upper lip, maxilla, columella. The resultant defect reconstructed thr...

In a previous study, we evaluated the findings related to the use of resorbable collagen membranes in humans along with DFDBA (demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft). The aim of this subsequent study was to histometrically evaluate in dogs, the healing response of gingival recessions treated with collagen membrane + DFDBA (Guided Tissue Regeneration, GTR) compared to a coronally positioned ...

Surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars often result in a wide range of complications such as trismus, pain, swelling and occasionally ecchymosis. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of two flap designs (triangular and envelope flaps) on such consequences.Twenty healthy patients with similarly positioned bilateral impacted mandibular third molars participated in t...
