Background and Aim: Tissue adhesives can be used as an alternative to conventional sutures in periodontal surgery. The free gingival graft (FGG) is a technique used to increase the zone of keratinized gingiva. The shrinkage of FGGs is a well-known clinical phenomenon. However, to our knowledge, there is no data available regarding the dimensional changes in FGG procedure using non-suturing tech...

this case report describes the clinical application of the coronally advanced flap procedure associated with the subepithelial connective tissue pedicle graft with palatal tunneling for the reconstruction of interproximal papillae. in this modified technique the distal end of the pedicle graft was divided into two parts, creating a bifid, which were then placed around the abutment and sutured o...

The aim of this study was to analyze the transplant efficiency of non-pedicled buccal fat pad graft (BFPG) for the treatment of Miller Class I or II gingival recessions (GRs) and to compare these results with those of subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG), which is considered the gold standard. Twelve patients with Miller Class I or II (≥2 mm) bilateral recessions in maxillary premolars ...

This 6-month randomized controlled clinical study primarily aimed to compare the results achieved by the use of a platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane or connective tissue graft (CTG) in the treatment of gingival recession and to evaluate the clinical impact of PRF on early wound healing and subjective patient discomfort. Use of a PRF membrane in gingival recession treatment provided acceptable ...

Background: Gingival recession is characterized by the gingival margin move apically to mucogingival junction and cause root surface exposure. It causes a high incidence of caries, hypersensitivity interferes with appearance patient. A variety materials periodontal plastic surgery procedures are available correct problems cover surface. Some treatment modifications have been developed obtain op...

The misuse of various chemicals in dentistry may cause damage to gingiva and alveolar bone. In this case report, we describe necrosis of the gingiva and alveolar bone caused by acid etching. A patient whose caries on the cervical third of the root of his mandibular right first molar were treated 2 days earlier presented to our clinic with severe pain and discomfort in the treated area. Intraora...

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...

background and aims. the anatomical features of gingiva are important in appropriate periodontal treatment planning. this study was designed to determine the anatomic features of gingival in a group of dental students in tabriz, iran. materials and methods. one-hundred healthy subjects (aged 20-24 years old) with no history of periodontal or orthodontic treatment and a gingival index of zero or...

One of the main purposes of mucogingival therapy is to obtain full root coverage. Several treatment modalities have been developed, but few techniques can provide complete root coverage in a class III Miller recession. Thus, the aim of this case report is to present a successful clinical case of a Miller class III gingival recession in which complete root coverage was obtained by means of a mul...

Excessive alveolar bone resorption is commonly found when teeth are extracted. This is a problem in anterior part of mouth because it will result in an unaesthetic pontic on a narrow hollowed out alveolar ridge. Yet, another problem is gingival recession and root exposure in adjacent teeth which represent a therapeutic problem to the clinician.Use of acellular dermal matrix graft is an appropri...
