The aim of this randomized, controlled split-mouth clinical trial was to assess the effect LLLT on wound healing after modified coronally advanced flap (MCAF) procedure for treatment isolated recession-type defects. Fifteen patients with bilaterally symmetrical gingival recessions (Miller’s Class I or II, a combination both) were enrolled in study. After modified, technique implemented, diode l...

of about half an inch, and underneath, to nearly the same distance, the soft parts had receded from the tibia, leaving a outjutting right angle of denuded bone; still, although tho soft parts had thus receded, or probably sloughed, from its sharp edge, they had in no way deserted the tibia. Appearing to have considered that the flaps could not heal over a bony edge of such extreme sharpness, th...

BACKGROUND The treatment of buccal gingival recessions is a common requirement due to aesthetic concern or root sensitivity. The aim of this manuscript was to systematically review the literature on coronally advanced flap (CAF) alone or in combination with tissue grafts, barrier membranes (BM), enamel matrix derivative (EMD) or other material for treating gingival recession. MATERIAL AND MET...

The aim of this research was to verify clinically and histologically whether an excessively large horizontal and vertical gap distance of an implant placed into an immediate extraction socket would osseointegrate coronally at the implant-socket interface without primary flap closure, a bone graft, or a barrier membrane. An immediate implant and straight-profile healing abutment were placed at t...

Gingival recession is one of the most common soft tissue problems, especially when it hinders the esthetics of a patient. Gingival recession can further lead to root caries, sensitivity, and difficulty in plaque control. Moreover, exposed roots are prone to abrasion and erosion. Periodontal plastic surgery is one of the emerging fields, which helps to meet such soft tissue problems. Currently, ...
