BACKGROUND The aim of this clinical trial study was to clinically evaluate the use of enamel matrix protein derivative combined with the coronally positioned flap to treat gingival recession compared to the subepithelial connective tissue graft by a new method to obtain denuded root surface area. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirteen patients, each with two or more similar bilateral Miller class I o...

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...

purpose: to report occurrence, management, and outcome of late-onset traumatic dislocation of laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) flaps case report: we report a patient with late-onset lasik corneal flap dislocation after blunt ocular trauma occurring four years after surgery. an ultrasound biomicroscopy (ubm) was performed to view the status of flap and determination of flap thickness. result...

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...

BACKGROUND Cephalic malposition of the lower lateral cartilage (CMLLC) is a relatively common anatomical variant, particularly in Middle Eastern patients. The characteristics of CMLLC include long alar creases, a boxy and ball-shaped nasal tip, parenthesis tip deformity and external valvular incompetence. The gold standard for correcting CMLLC is the lateral crural strut graft (Gunter graft), b...

BACKGROUND The scope was to review the three main clinical indications in periodontal plastic surgical procedures. AIMS To review the fundamental principles in periodontal plastic surgery, the main surgical designs in flap surgery applied to the treatment of recessions, peri-implant soft tissue deficiencies and soft tissue ridge augmentation, as well as the surgical principles of using autolo...
