The aim of this study was to assess the effects of smoking on gingival recession. Methods: Fifty smokers and 55 non-smokers took part in this cross-sectional study. Gingival recession on...

background: the aim of this clinical trial study was to clinically evaluate the use of enamel matrix protein derivative combined with the coronally positioned fl ap 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 ...

Soft tissue recession leads to root exposure which results in root caries, unaesthetic appearance and dentinal hypersensitivity. Aesthetic treatment such as root coverage procedures have become integral part of periodontal treatment. Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a new promising autogenous, less invasive and effective mode of treating gingival recession. This case report highlights the use of P...

BACKGROUND The impact of macroeconomic conditions on health has been extensively explored, as well as the relationship between individual unemployment and health. There are, however, few studies taking both aspects into account and even fewer studies looking at the relationship in a life course perspective.

BACKGROUND Diverse variables are implicated in the pathogenesis of gingival recession; more detailed knowledge about the relationship between the clinical presentation of gingival recession and assorted risk indicators may lead to improved patient monitoring, early intervention, and subsequent prevention. The objective was to evaluate clinically gingival recession in a homogeneous Mexican adult...

Gingival recession is commonly associated with plaque‐induced inflammation and calculus. A high frenal attachment is more important in gingival recession in the child‐patient. A healthy child‐patient with impeccable oral hygiene presented with localized gingival recession without plaque‐induced inflammation which led to the exploration of other possible etiologies. Multiple factors appeared to ...
