BACKGROUND Subepithelial connective tissue grafts have been shown to be effective in obtaining root coverage. However, little is known about the long-term results. The goal of this study was to evaluate and compare the short-term (13.0 weeks) and long-term (27.5 months) root coverage results obtained with subepithelial connective tissue grafts. METHODS One-hundred patients with 146 Miller Cla...

Rapid coverage and epithelial closure of extensive burns remains a major requirement for patient recovery. Although many skin substitutes have been described, permanent regeneration of both epithelial and connective tissues after a single surgical application of a skin substitute has not become routine. To replace both dermal and epidermal skin, cultured skin substitutes (CSS) were prepared fro...

Some issues are extremely simple if looked at without prejudice. This is also true for carcinomas. Carcinomas are malignant neoplasms of epithelial cells. Where are they going to arise? In the epithelium. Therefore, at the outset, they must be confined to the epithelium. How are they going to look in the beginning? Small and inconspicuous. How are they going to develop? They will grow and unfol...

Different techniques and materials can be used to treat intrabony periodontal defects caused by periodontal diseases. This case report presents an intrabony periodontal defect with bioactive glass and connective tissue graft used as a barrier. Probing depth and clinical attachment gain were reduced at 6 and 12 months post-treatment.

Aim. To report on the endodontic and periodontal management of a root and alveolar process perforation in a maxillary front tooth. Summary. Perforation during access cavity preparation is an infrequent complication during endodontic therapy, leading to potential periodontal tissue breakdown. The case described the two-stage management of a massive facial root perforation requiring a connective ...
