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...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Endo perio lesions are common conditions that are often difficult to diagnose and are persistent if not treated completely. However, if the patient’s history is taken carefully and thorough evaluation of all possible routes of infection is carried out, a properly done endodontic treatment is sufficient to eliminate the infection. However, wherever a secondary periodontal ...

AIM The purpose of the present in vivo study was to measure the efficacy of different gingival displacement materials in achieving gingival tissue displacement and to compare the efficacy of Expasyl displacement paste (Pierre Rolland, France) and gingival displacement cord for gingival displacement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen subjects were included in the study. Premolars were prepared to ...

Idiopathic gingival enlargement is a type of gingival fibromatosis characterized by progressive overgrowth of the gingival tissues.This case report presented the clinical features of a typical idiopathic gingival enlargement which was treated with external bevel gingivactomy. The patient presented with generalized diffuse gingival enlargement involving the maxillary and mandibular arches extend...

Relevance . Gum recession is a pathology often encountered both in Russia and worldwide. Modern surgical methods allow for the complete elimination of signs when adequately choosing strategy, tactics, methodology treatment protocol; complication prevention stable long-term outcome. Autograft allogeneic dura mater as grafting material creating/increasing volume attached gingiva have comparable r...

Purpose: To evaluate the relevance of the probe test in classifying the gingival biotype and to determine if differences exist between maxillary and mandibular gingival biotypes in the same patient. Materials and Methods: 53 subjects were included. The gingival thickness was evaluated as thick or thin. This evaluation was based on the transparency of the periodontal probe through the gingival m...

Background: Gingival biotype is a prognostic factor in different therapeutic and regenerative approaches in dentistry. Patients with thin biotype are more prone to recession, inflammation, compromised tissue response, therapeutic and regenerative procedures. Identification of gingival biotypes is therefore important for the treatment planning process in restorative and implant dentistry. The pu...

INTRODUCTION The development of various benign oral mucosal lesions associated with dental implants, such as pyogenic granuloma or peripheral giant cell granuloma, has been rarely reported. However, the occurrence of vascular diseases, such as hemangioma, related to dental implants has not been explored in the literature. In this study, we report a case of co-development of pyogenic granuloma a...

The successful integration of periodontal and restorative dentistry for both natural teeth and implants requires knowledge and application of both mechanical and biological principles. In areas of aesthetic concern, an adequate band of attached gingiva can increase patient comfort, reduce the probability of gingival recession following tooth preparation and simplify restorative procedures. Whil...
