One of the most common esthetic concern associated with the periodontal tissues is gingival recession. Gingival recession is the exposure of root surfaces due to apical migration of the gingival tissue margins; gingival margin migrates apical to the cementoenamel junction. Although it rarely results in tooth loss, marginal tissue recession is associated with thermal and tactile sensitivity, est...

AIM The aim of this study was to determine the treatment outcome of the use of a porcine monolayer collagen matrix (mCM) to augment peri-implant soft tissue in conjunction with immediate implant placement as an alternative to patient's own connective tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 27 implants were placed immediately in 27 patients (14 males and 13 females, with a mean age of 52.2 ye...

Smokers have small root coverage which is associated with bad vascularity of periodontal tissues. This study evaluated a technique that can increase the blood supply to the periodontal tissues compared with a traditional technique. Twenty heavy smokers (10 males and 10 females) with two bilateral Miller class I gingival recessions received coronally positioned flaps in one side (Control group)a...

The American Academy of Periodontology 1 has defined marginal tissue recession as an acquired deformity with the gingival margin being located apical to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ), resulting in exposed root surface and loss of attached gingiva. Gingival recession is a common feature in populations with high as well as poor standards of oral hygiene 2 . Many factors have been proposed to i...

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...

Background: Gingival anatomic factors, chronic trauma, periodontitis, and tooth alignment are the main conditions leading to gingival recession. The present study was conducted compare root coverage of localized GR using modified coronally advanced flap (CAF) conditioning with 24% EDTA when performed under magnification without magnification. Materials Methods: This on 30 patients Miller’s Clas...

AIM The aim of these case reports was to evaluate the effectiveness of a subepithelial connective tissue graft with a coronally advanced flap to reconstruct an interdental papilla. BACKGROUND In the last decade, esthetics has become a major concern in periodontal therapy. One of the most difficult and elusive goals for the periodontist in the esthetic aspect of periodontal therapy is the reco...

Mucogingival surgery involving gingival reconstruction has become an integral part of current periodontal practice. Gingival recession, either localized or generalized, may beassociated with one or more surfaces, resulting in attachment loss and root exposure, which can lead to clinical and fuctional problems such as poor esthetic, poor plaque control and root hypersensitivity etc. Miller’s Cla...
