Purpose: To do a clinical evaluation of the results of the treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions with VISTA technique (Vestibular Incision Subperiostal Tunnel Access) and platelet-rich fibrin membrane (PRF m). Methods and materials: The study included 30 participants (19 women and 11 men) with multiple adjacent gingival recessions on both jaws of Miller’s Class I and Class II. The ...

introduction: the purpose of this report was to present a successful treatment approach in an unusual gingival recession as a result of finger sucking traumatic habit associated with high labial frenum. case report: a 10-year-old girl presented moderate pain, recession in the mandibular right incisor and finger sucking habit. the performed treatment was: oral hygiene instruction, use of palatal...

We used scanning electron microscopy to study the morphological surface patterns of cells that cover the attached gingiva and intervestibular papilla of the human oral gingival epithelium. Five patterns are described on the basis of the overall appearance of morphological surface markers: microvilli, parallel, fingerprint, reticular and pitted. Statistical analyses detected significant differen...

In the mandibular anterior area, gingival recession can be associated with a minimal amount or lack of attached gingiva, a shallow vestibule, and high frenum insertion. These anatomical features may preclude the use of traditional root coverage procedures. This case series describes a a bilaminar technique with flap incision in the fornix for the treatment of adjacent gingival recession defects...

Collagen fibre organisation and fibril size were studied in the buccal gingival and hard palate mucosa of Macacus rhesus monkey. Light and electron microscopy analysis showed connective papillae exhibiting a similar inner structure in the different areas examined, but varying in distribution, shape and size. Moving from the deep to surface layers of the buccal gingival mucosa (free and attached...

abstract background and aims. the aim of this study was to evalute the effect of double pedicle graft (dpg) with and without plasma rich in growth factor (prgf) in the treatment of miller's cl i and ii gingival recessions. materials and methods. thirty two bilateral buccal gingival miller’s cl i and ii recessions were selected. sixteen of the recessions were treated with dpg and prgf (test grou...

background and aim: the aim of the present study was to compare coronally advanced flap (caf) with amniotic membrane to caf with connective tissue graft (ctg) in the treatment of miller’s class iⅈ gingival recessions. materials and methods: 11 systemically healthy patients, with 30 miller’s class і and іі gingival recessions ≥3 mm, were selected and randomly divided into two equal groups. gi...

Clinical measurements on gingival indices and morphologic observations were performed in this study to verify the defending mechanism of gingival soft tissue against foreign invasions from the perspective of epithelial adhesion/attachment to implant surfaces in the monkey mandible. The following zones were observed using scanning electron microscopy: (1) plaque zone, suggesting susceptibility o...

statement of problem: accurate impressions are one of the most critical factors in achieving acceptable restorations. when pouring the impressions of implant supported restorations, soft materials like silicone and polyether are used to reconstruct the gingival form around the implants. to the best of our knowledge, no study has been conducted on the comparison of the accuracy of these soft mat...

Gingival Fibrous nodules or gingival nodules are variants of normal oral mucosa. These lesions were apparently identified and named by Giunta in 1999, who reported a series of five cases and additional three cases were later reported by Brannon and his co worker. These appear as either single or multiple firm, pale nodules occurring on the labial attached gingiva-alveolar mucosa junction of eit...
