The aim of any prosthodontic treatment plan is to restore the lost or missing tissue with prosthesis. This prosthesis should be compatible with existing hard and soft tissues and fulfill the functional and aesthetic requirements as well. It is important for the treating clinician to be knowledgeable about the interactions of these prosthodontic appliances with oral tissues and consequences of v...

Though the necessity to place the finish line into the gingival sulcus obviously has a negative effect on the quality of the impression,4,8-10 aspects of gingival retraction have only been sparsely investigated.3-5 The aim of gingival retraction is to allow access for the impression material beyond the abutment margins and to create space for the impression material to be sufficiently thick. Te...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to establish whether any correlation exists between tooth shapes and patient-related factors such as gingival and periodontal characteristics. MATERIAL AND METHODS Clinical measurements, including the width and the height of maxillary central incisor crowns, the apico incisal height of the keratinized mucosa (KM), the buccal gingiv...

Subcutaneous facial emphysema after dental treatment is an uncommon complication caused by the invasion of high-pressure air; in severe cases, it can spread to the neck, mediastinum, and thorax, resulting in cervical emphysema, pneumomediastinum, and pneumothorax. The present case showed subcutaneous cervicofacial emphysema with pneumomediastinum after class V restoration. The patient was fully...

The author performs endoscopic midface lift via the subperiosteal dissection level using 2 approaches: gingival buccal sulcus and temporal. He describes his technique in detail, emphasizing recent changes. (Aesthetic Surg J 2002;22:477-480.).

PURPOSE Periodontitis is an infectious disease caused predominantly by gram-negative anerobes. The host inflammatory response to these bacteria causes alveolar bone loss that is characterized as periodontitis. Omega-3 fatty acids (ω-3 FAs) have anti-inflammatory properties, thus have been used to treat some chronic inflammatory diseases such as cardiovascular disease and rheumatoid arthritis. W...

The tibial resection depth during total knee arthroplasty for valgus knees has been variously described and not standardized yet. Accordingly, it proposed in this article, that the sulcus between medial lateral intercondylar tubercles can be used as a reference point depth. performed 8 to 9 mm distal sulcus.

background: exposure of the gingival sulcus while controlling hemorrhage is prerequisites for maximizing treatment outcomes of cervical carious lesions and for obtaining quality impressions for the fabrication of indirect restorations with cervical fi nish lines. gingival retraction cords saturated with different chemical agents are widely used for this purpose. the aim of this study was to inv...
