BACKGROUND Gingival recession is significantly more common among smokers, while cigarette smoking has been shown to negatively influence healing following periodontal therapeutic procedures as compared to non-smokers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of cigarette smoking on the outcome of coronally positioned flap (CPF) in the treatment of Miller Class I gingival recess...

The independent influence of Keratinized Tissue Width (KTW) and Gingival Biotype (GB) on root coverage outcomes have been reported over the years. These parameters along with Recession Depth (RD) might act as a triad assessing this ternion would be beneficial in determining prognosis devising treatment plan for gingival recession. aim retrospective analysis is to evaluate possible association b...

UNLABELLED The dimensions and relationships of the structures of the dentogingival unit have been greatly overlooked because of the inability to easily and precisely determine them. The purpose of the present study was to develop a soft tissue cone-beam computed tomography (ST-CBCT) to improve soft tissue image quality and allow the determination of the dimensions and relationships of the struc...

INTRODUCTION The implantological rehabilitation of the anterior sector is one of the most demanding and complex treatments due to the necessity of obtaining an optimum esthetic result. At the level of the soft tissues, it involves obtaining the complete formation of the papilla and creating a harmonic contour of the gingival margin. OBJECTIVE A bibliographical review has been carried out on t...

background: coronally advanced fl ap (caf) has been shown to effectively treat gingival recession. platelet rich plasma (prp), containing autologous growth factors, has been shown to promote soft tissue healing. the aim of this clinical study was to determine whether the addition of an autologous prp to a caf when compared to a caf alone would improve the clinical outcome for treatment of multi...
