Objectives: The present study aims to clinically compare and evaluate subepithelial connective tissue graft and the GTR based root coverage in treatment of Miller’s Class I gingival recession. Study Design: 30 patients with at least one pair of Miller’s Class I gingival recession were treated either with Subepithelial connective tissue graft (Group A) or Guided tissue regeneration (Group B). Cl...

The jejunal mucosa of eight coeliac children on a gluten-free diet and two non-coeliac children was studied by light and electron microscopy two to 98 hours after a single challenge dose of gluten. In all coeliac patients the early cytopathological reactions were principally confined to the structures within the subepithelial connective tissue. Changes were observed in the connective tissue fib...

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...

several techniques and materials have been introduced for the treatment of gingival recession defects. this article reports the case of a 43-year old female patient with chief complaint of esthetic problem, presenting multiple gingival recession defects in anterior maxilla. cenoderm combined with coronally positioned flap was used for management of six teeth with gingival recession. complete ro...

Glycoconjugates involved in many functions are produced by cell types. This study aimed to investigate the glycoconjugate expression Oscar fish (Astronotus ocellatus) gills using five horseradish peroxidase-conjugated lectins. revealed that gill epithelial cells react with Canavalia ensiformis agglutinin (Con A) and Arachis hypogaea (PNA). Strong reaction Con A was seen of primary lamellae. Epi...

purpose: this study evaluated the effect of donor and eye bank characteristics on graft rating and clinical outcomes after penetrating keratoplasty (pk) in keratoconus-affected patients. methods: a total of 252 consecutive keratoconic eyes that underwent pk were reviewed in this retrospective interventional case series. donor data included age and sex, cause of death, death-to-preservation time...

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...

Patients today have become excessively concerned about esthetics. These esthetic concerns of patients have become an integral part of periodontal practice. Gingival recession is an esthetic problem that can be successfully treated by means of several mucogingival surgical approaches, any of which can be used, provided that the biologic conditions for accomplishing root coverage are satisfied wi...
