This case report describes a modified connective tissue graft wall technique with enamel matrix derivative proposed to treat vertical bony defects. The surgical procedure consisted of coronally advanced flap porcine-derived acellular dermal placed below, acting as buccal soft the defect. patient showed defect between #12 and #13 horizontal bone loss deep infrabony component at mesial area canin...

this case report describes the clinical application of the coronally advanced flap procedure associated with the subepithelial connective tissue pedicle graft with palatal tunneling for the reconstruction of interproximal papillae. in this modified technique the distal end of the pedicle graft was divided into two parts, creating a bifid, which were then placed around the abutment and sutured o...

this study is aimed to evaluate the effect of covering exposed root surface by collagen membrane and to compare this method with coronoally advanced flap covering. 26 teeth in 20 patients (12m/8f) with miller1 gingival recession were selected. 14 teeth were allocated into test group and 12 teeth in control group. following first phase of treatment, clinical parameters including the height and w...

BACKGROUND Although many Authors have reported the use of root surface biomodification (RSB), the clinical outcomes in terms of root coverage are still unclear, as a number of biomodifier agents have been used in combination with various periodontal plastic surgical techniques. In this review we aim to evaluate the efficacy of RSB in root coverage and its impact on the outcomes. METHODS A sea...

Gingival recession (GR) exposes the root surface and causes sensitivity, if left untreated it will lead to exposure with bone loss around teeth eventually more complex periodontal defect. There are numerous surgical interventions present in literature for treating gingival recession, Coronally advanced flap (CAF) surgery is one of most common procedures treatment. The Predictability treatment o...

Although abdominal tissue remains the gold standard in autologous breast reconstruction,1 other donor sites like buttocks, thigh, dorsal area are often used. The posterior thigh flap was first described in 1980 by Hurwitz and posteriorly transferred as a free flap by Song et al. in 1984. Pap flap has gained popularity, as it offers a favorable response based on a consistent vascular anatomy, ea...

A recessão gengival é caracterizada como o deslocamento apical da margem em relação à junção cemento-esmalte, com consequente exposição superfície radicular podendo promover desconforto estético e funcional. O tratamento das recessões gengivais consiste técnicas cirúrgicas de recobrimento radicular, geralmente associadas ao enxerto tecido conjuntivo autógeno, contudo, para a sua obtenção existe...
