Accidental contact of various chemicals in dentistry may cause damage to the gingiva. A male patient presented for a full mouth rehabilitation with ceramic crowns. The underwent steps crown preparation uneventfully. At time delivery, cotton rolls were placed several vestibular areas isolation. They regularly changed during different etching and cementation process, which included use Multilink ...

In vitro studies have shown that addition of antifibrinolytic agents to culture media containing explants of cat palatal mucosa will change the direction of the epithelial proliferation. Consequently, the epithelial cells migrate in an opposite direction to that expected, reaching the stratum corneum and spreading in the upper surface with the formation of an everted epiboly (Bergenholtz, Gusta...

PURPOSE Although there are a number of bone replacement graft materials that are currently available for clinical use, there are few studies that directly compare efficacy among graft treatments before implant placement. The purpose of this report was to compare 3 bone replacement graft materials (PepGen P-15 228 FLOW [DENTSPLY Friadent CeraMed, Lakewood, CO], Puros [Zimmer Dental, Carlsbad, CA...

background: pericoronal tissue is the soft tissue located between the bony crypt and the impacted tooth, which is histologically composed of fi brous connective tissue and is usually lined by the reduced enamel epithelium. increased epithelial cell proliferation in the pericoronal tissue is associated with pathological changes such as development of an odontogenic cyst or an epithelial odontoge...

Introduction: Gingival recession (GR) is a common aesthetic problem associated with the cervical wear of the tooth structure and dentin hypersensitivity. Recently, periodontal-restorative approaches have been proposed for the management of GR associated with non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs), which has proven effective. The present study aimed to evaluate this method.  <stro...

Dental implants are becoming the treatment of choice to replace missing teeth, especially if the adjacent teeth are free of restorations. When minimal bone width is present, implant placement becomes a challenge and often resulting in recession and dehiscence around the implant that leads to subsequent gingival recession. To correct such defect, the author turned to soft tissue autografting and...

Blue diode laser emits a 445 nm wavelength light, which is extremely effective with hemoglobin, and has an optimal hemostatic effect. This work analyzes its thermal effects clinical efficacy, when used to perform excisional biopsies. Forty-two biopsies were performed the laser; then, extent of perincisional was evaluated patients followed up. Average alteration on epithelial tissue 507.07 µm, c...

Background & Aims: Sodium arsenite causes oxidative stress and endocrine disorders in the reproductive system. The aim was to investigate the protective role of curcumin as an antioxidant on the seminal vesicle tissue in adult mice treated with sodium arsenite. Materials & Methods: Adult male Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (six mice per group) ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is usually considered a disease of older people. Recently, there is a change in the occurrence of such lesions in young patients and lacking the established risk factors. CASE REPORT: A 21-year-old male reported with an innocuous gingival growth over lower incisors since a month. Within 15 days he noticed another gingival growth in same region l...
