introduction: nowadays the necessity of the existence of a certain width of keratinized gingiva is emphasized upon to maintain periodontal health and prevent soft tissue recession around teeth and dental implants. this study was carried out to compare two gingival graft procedures including connective tissue graft and graft with a combination of collagen sponge with platelet-rich plasma and pla...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the periodontal health and tooth vitality of palatally impacted and buccal ectopic maxillary canines after completion of orthodontic treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen patients who had unilateral, palatally impacted canines and 15 patients who had unilateral, buccal ectopic canines comprised the subjects of the study. Clinical and radiographic data was collected by...

One of the most common mucoginigival problems are gingival recession with decreased width of attached gingiva and shallow vestibule. Many techniques have been employed till date to increase the width of attached gingiva and for root coverage. But in all these techniques multiple surgeries had to be performed to achieve predictable results. In such procedures, firstly the width of attached gingi...

Purpose: The importance of an adequate width of attached gingiva around periodontally affected teeth has been well-documented. However, there is no consensus regarding the relationship between the width of keratinized tissue and the health of peri-implant tissues. Clinicians in general prefer to provide enough keratinized mucosa around dental implants for long-term implant maintenance. There ar...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the inflammatory response in dento-gingival units with or without attached gingiva in monkeys. Two different types of dento-gingival units with or without attached gingiva were established in premolar and first molar areas of three monkeys. In the experimental group, a part of the keratinized gingiva was removed with periodontal scissors following mucop...

This paper reports case of pediatric localized gingival recession (LGR) in mandibular anterior region which was treated by using new innovative surgical approach, i.e. combination of frenectomy and vestibular extension. These interceptive surgeries not only gained sufficient width of attached gingival but also lower the attachment of labial frenum. How to cite this article: Jingarwar M, Pathak ...

This case report demonstrated a modified technique of free gingival graft (FGG) aiming to increase keratinized attached tissue in large recipient areas. A FGG to increase the amount of attached gingival tissue, facilitate oral hygiene, and prevent further clinical attachment loss was realized in two patients. Because the extensive recipient area, a modified technique was performed to obtain a s...

statement of the problem: the routine procedure for immobilization of free gingival graft (fgg) is suturing. due to the successful application of tissue adhesives their employment has also become the subject of interest. purpose: the aim of present clinical trial was to compare using epiglu (e.g) versus silk thread suturing in fgg. materials and methods: this study was a split mouth clinical tr...

Gingival recession is a common concern due to esthetic and root sensitivity especially in mandibular anterior teeth. Various treatment modalities mucogingival techniques have been carried out for the of recession. The presence shallow vestibule, inadequate width attached gingiva may pose challenge which several surgical solutions are reported literature. Bridge flap technique one such that can ...
