Moderate-to-severe chronic periodontitis results in clinical loss of attachment, reduced width of attached gingiva (AG), periodontal pockets beyond mucogingival junction (MGJ), gingival recession, loss of alveolar bone, and decreased vestibular depth (VD). The encroachment of frenal and muscle attachments on marginal gingiva increases the rate of progression of periodontal pockets, prevents hea...

The gingiva surrounds each tooth and comprises the free gingival(gingival margin), attached gingiva and gingival sulcus. The attached gingiva is firmly attached to the underlying periosteum of the alveolar bone. It is continuous with the alveolar (or oral) mucosa and is demarcated from it by the muco-gingival junction. The free (or marginal) gingiva is that found coronal (ie towards the crown) ...

background and aims. the anatomical features of gingiva are important in appropriate periodontal treatment planning. this study was designed to determine the anatomic features of gingival in a group of dental students in tabriz, iran. materials and methods. one-hundred healthy subjects (aged 20-24 years old) with no history of periodontal or orthodontic treatment and a gingival index of zero or...

AIMS Several studies have shown a large diversity in the prevalence, extent and severity of gingival recession as well as controversial conclusions of its associated factors. Therefore, the aim of this pilot study was to evaluate gingival recession with predisposing factors in young Vietnamese. METHODS A cross-sectional study using clinical examination was performed in 120 dental students. Or...

AIM The purpose of the present in vivo study was to measure the efficacy of different gingival displacement materials in achieving gingival tissue displacement and to compare the efficacy of Expasyl displacement paste (Pierre Rolland, France) and gingival displacement cord for gingival displacement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen subjects were included in the study. Premolars were prepared to ...

Background: Gingival recession is a condition where the root surface of tooth exposed due to migration gingival margin and junctional epithelium in an apical direction. The problem that patients often complain about aesthetic problem, especially if occurs upper anterior teeth. In addition, can also cause dentine hypersensitivity exposure was previously covered by gingiva. One treatment options ...

The biologic width (BW) includes attached epithelial cells and connective tissue attachment complex being very important in the periodontal health during prosthetic treatments as invading this zone can cause bone resorption and gingival recession. The present study investigated biologic width values in the normal periodontium in anterior and posterior teeth. 30 patients that referred from resto...
