objective: the aim of this study was to compare subepithelial connective tissue grafts (sctg) and coronally advanced flaps (caf) with the addition of emdogain in the treatment of gingival recession. materials and methods : this interventional randomized controlled clinical trial involved eleven patients and 31 teeth demonstrating facial recessions of > 2 mm identified as miller's class i or ii....

background and aim: the aim of the present study was to compare coronally advanced flap (caf) with amniotic membrane to caf with connective tissue graft (ctg) in the treatment of miller’s class iⅈ gingival recessions. materials and methods: 11 systemically healthy patients, with 30 miller’s class і and іі gingival recessions ≥3 mm, were selected and randomly divided into two equal groups. gi...

several techniques and materials have been introduced for the treatment of gingival recession defects. this article reports the case of a 43-year old female patient with chief complaint of esthetic problem, presenting multiple gingival recession defects in anterior maxilla. cenoderm combined with coronally positioned flap was used for management of six teeth with gingival recession. complete ro...

Damaged muscle fibers degenerate and are phagocytosed, but their connective tissue sheaths and myogenic cells survive. New myofibers regenerate within the connective tissue sheath and functional reinnervation is restored. The present study compared regenerating myofibers and their reinnervation in muscle grafts where the original motor endplates were removed and when they were present. In regen...

The peri-implant soft tissue (PIS) augmentation procedure has become an integral part of implant-prosthetic rehabilitation. Minimal width keratinized mucosa (KM) 2 mm is deemed necessary to facilitate oral hygiene maintenance around the implant and provide hard stability. PIS thickness at least recommended achieve esthetic appearance prevent recessions prosthetic autogenous grafts can be divide...

s: Background: Most commonly palatal region is used as the donor site for obtaining connective tissue graft for root coverage as it has the advantage of providing a wide area for obtaining the graft. In the cases requiring small size of graft other intraoral regions can also be used. This is a case report which demonstrates the use of interdental papilla for obtaining connective tissue for root...

normal pressure hydrocephalus (nph) is characterized by gait apraxia, urinary incontinence, and dementia. mixed connective tissue disease (mctd) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease that has never been reported to cause nph. our patient was a 67-year man with a one-year history of gradual worsening gait and balance, urinary urgency with urge incontinence and decreased short-term memory. p...

marfan’s syndrome (mfs) is a genetic disorder associated with autosomal dominant inheritance. in mfs, the most prevalent cause of death is cardiovascular involvement. here we introduce a family with a severe penetration of mfs. eleven members of this family have mfs (father, two daughters, three sons, and five grandchildren). the most common cardiac involvement in our patients was mitral valve ...

soft tissue-implant interface is an important anatomical feature contributing to the long-term success of dental implants. based on the available evidence, different factors may influence biological width around implants including the surgical technique, implant loading, implant surface properties, abutment materials, implant position, and width of the peri-implant mucosa. the purpose of the pr...
