objective: different surgical procedures have been proposed for the treatment of gingival recessions. the goal of this study was to compare the clinical results of gingival recession treatment using subepithelial connective tissue graft and an acellular dermal matrix allograft. materials and methods: the present study was performed on 5 patients with 9 bilateral miller`s class i or ii gingival ...

Peripheral nerve damage (PNI) can cause demyelination, axonal degeneration and loss of motor sensory function. Melatonin with its antioxidative effect, has been reported to reduce scar formation in injury, take a role repair process by suppressing fibroblast proliferation the damaged area. It was aimed investigate effect melatonin peripheral relationship between S100 proteins angiogenic regulat...

The first evidence of reaction to the graft was a rapid aggregation of polymorphonuclear leucocytes in the surrounding tissues of the host, beginning about two hours after the introduction of the tumor fragment and of short duration only. The leucocytes collected about any necrotic material present and even penetrated between the tumor cells. About fifteen hours after the introduction of the gr...

The distribution of epithelial E-cadherin, basement membrane type VII collagen, and underlying connective tissues fibronectin were investigated immunohistochemically and compared in normal palatal mucosa and in denture-related stomatitis (DRS) derivatives using monoclonal antibodies.Biopsies of palatal mucosa were obtained from twelve patients enrolled in this study, 8 with type II DRS and 4 wi...

Covering exposed roots becomes more and more difficult as the gingiva becomes thinner and the vestibule becomes more shallow. Also, the outcome becomes less predictable. In addition, where there is high frenal attachment or muscle pull, such as the mentalis muscle in the mandibular anterior region, secondary retraction of a coronally advanced flap will likely occur. Therefore, a transplanted co...
