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...

F ollowing extraction of a natal or neonatal tooth, continued growth of the dental papilla may occur and a tooth-like form may develop.'^ This report describes an atypical tooth form (probably the result of continued growth of the retained dental papilla) that abscessed and may have caused delayed eruption of the adjacent primary lateral incisor. A 13-month-old white male presented to the autho...

PURPOSE To analyze the dimensions of the embrasure space between the maxillary central incisors as potential factors influencing interdental papilla fill and height. METHODS The embrasure dimensions between the maxillary central incisors of 100 subjects (40 females/60 males) were assessed with clinical, study model, and radiographic examinations. Variables of the complete and deficient papill...

Teneurins are transmembrane proteins consisting of four paralogues (Ten-1-4), notably expressed in the central nervous system during development. All teneurins contain a bioactive peptide in their carboxyl terminal named teneurin C-terminal associated peptide (TCAP). The present study analyzed the detailed distribution of teneurin-2-like immunoreactive (Ten-2-LI) cells in developing and mature ...

The structure and innervation of the papilla incisiva (papilla palatina) of the shrew, Sorex unguiculatus were studied by light and electron microscopy. The papillary region of the shrew consists of the papilla proper and two epithelial processes. The main part of the papilla, with the epithelial processes, lies anterior to the incisors and is thus in the vestibulum oris. The papilla is compose...

AIM The use of endosseous dental implants (DI) has become a successful treatment alternative. However, providing periimplant tissue health and achieving a natural esthetic look are important topics in this treatment. The aim of the present study was to evaluate periodontal and esthetic parameters around DI and natural teeth (NT) and also to analyze myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels in gingival crevi...

BACKGROUND/AIMS We aimed to evaluate whether the advanced techniques have influenced the minor papilla approach. METHODS We studied the success rate of guide wire insertion by using ordinary techniques and advanced techniques (rendezvous method and precut method) in 30 patients via the minor papilla. We compared the selection of the access routes between before (52 patients) and after (28 pat...

PURPOSE This study examined the factors that can be associated with the appearance of the interproximal papilla. METHODS One hundred and forty-seven healthy interproximal papillae between the maxillary central incisors were examined. For each subject, a digital photograph and periapical radiograph of the interdental embrasure were taken using a 1-mm grid metal piece. The following parameters ...
