Methods of exposing impacted teeth in order to bring them into the line of the arch include gingivectomy, the apically repositioned flap and closed eruption techniques. These procedures aim to facilitate the eruption of the impacted tooth with a minimum of disruption or damage to the tooth itself or adjacent structures. The aim of this paper is to discuss the various surgical methods of exposin...

Gingival recession is one of the most common esthetic concerns associated with the periodontal tissues. Gingival recession is the exposure of root surfaces due to apical migration of the gingival tissue margins. Coronally advanced flap (CAF) technique and its modifications have been proposed in the literature to correct gingival recession defects. This paper reports the treatment of multiple gi...

Introduction: A single incision palatal harvest technique was applied to minimize the size of the palatal wound and to allow for primary closure of the donor site, which may result in reduced postoperative discomfort. Aim: This case presentation describes the use of a coronally positioned flap with subepithelial connective tissue graft using a single incision technique for the treatment of dent...

The peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a reactive lesion caused by trauma or irritation. The lesions can vary in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Surgical excision is the treatment to be carried out for PGCG. This case report describes the clinical and histopathological findings of PGCG diagnosed in the maxilla of a 24-year-old female, and the treatment of a gingival d...

BACKGROUND Gingival recession (GR) is one of the most common esthetic and functional concerns associated with periodontal disease. A variety of surgical procedures has been introduced to the field of cosmetic periodontology for the treatment of GR. AIM To evaluate and compare the clinical outcome of semilunar coronally advanced flap (SCAF) with and without button technique in the treatment of...

Apicectomy has become an integral part of a comprehensive dental treatment. The primary objective of apicectomy is to eradicate the aetiological agents of periapical pathoses and to restore the periodontium to a state of biologic and functional health. The aim of this study was to evaluate patient experience of quality of life following apicoectomy using two different flap design gingival (enve...

Seven years after uneventful laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), a 48-year-old woman presented one week after being hit with an iron cord with blurry vision, pain, and irritation. The injury resulted in traumatic flap dislocation, epithelial ingrowth, and macrostriae. Following epithelial removal, the flap was refloated and repositioned. Nine interrupted sutures were used to secure the flap. ...

BACKGROUND Excessive gingival display (GD) is a frequent finding that can occur because of various intraoral or extraoral etiologies. This work describes the use of a mucosal repositioned flap for the management of a gummy smile associated with vertical maxillary excess (VME) and hypermobility of the upper lip followed by injection of Botox. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seven female patients in the ...
