The treatment of Miller class III gingival recession is considered a challenge in periodontal practice, and among the different techniques used, autogenous connective tissue graft has shown the most favorable results. In some cases, more than one procedure may be necessary. In this case report, we describe the simultaneous application of a combination of three techniques (the tunnel technique, ...

stem cells are of great interest for regenerating disturbed tissues and organs. these cells are commonly isolated from the bone marrow, but there has been interest in other tissues in the recent years. in this study, we evaluated the possibility of isolation of stem cells from oral connective tissue and investigated their characteristics.in this experimental study, sampling from the bone marrow...

Proteoglycans extracted from separated specimens of healthy human gingival epithelium and from connective tissue have been purified. The epithelial proteoglycans fractionated as a single included peak on Sepharose 4B-CL and contained heparan sulphate and dermatan sulphate glycosaminoglycans. The connective-tissue proteoglycans separated into three major populations on Sepharose 4B-CL, one of wh...

The aim of the present article is to summarize current knowledge in terms of the etiology, diagnosis, prognosis and surgical treatment of gingival recession. Whilst the main etiological factors (i.e. toothbrushing trauma and bacterial plaque) are well established, challenges still remain to be solved in the diagnostic, prognostic and classification processes of gingival recession, especially wh...

This study presents the morphology and structure of rectum in Bolua turkiyae Ünal, 1999 (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) using light scanning electron microscopy. The digestive system insects is split up three parts as foregut, midgut hindgut. last part results show that B. consists 6 rectal pads, similar to pads found others Orthopteran species. contains muscle tissue with connective tissue, epithe...

Introduction. This paper describes case reports where coronal growth of soft tissue on implant threads was observed after surgery for soft tissue graft. This phenomenon is known as "creeping attachment." Methods. Two patients were submitted to gingival graft procedure including subepithelial connective tissue graft and masticatory mucosal graft. A two-year follow-up appointment was performed. R...
