Introduction: Gingival shade matching, often overlooked, plays an integral role in designing prostheses for patients with high smile lines, gingival defects, and cases where the acrylic flange of removable dentures extends into aesthetic zone. The purpose this study was to find most prevalent a sample South Indian population. Materials methods: A total 110 participants were included based on in...

excessive alveolar bone resorption is commonly found when teeth are extracted. this is a problem in anterior part of mouth because it will result in an unaesthetic pontic on a narrow hollowed out alveolar ridge. yet, another problem is gingival recession and root exposure in adjacent teeth which represent a therapeutic problem to the clinician. use of acellular dermal matrix graft is an appropr...

Gingival recession is defined as the apical displacement of marginal gingiva in relation to cemento-enamel junction. It a common clinical finding individuals with good well those poor oral hygiene. may affect single tooth or multiple teeth simultaneously. Patients adjacent gingival recessions present major therapeutic challenge Periodontist, when it comes balancing their esthetic and functional...

objective: different surgical procedures have been proposed for the treatment of gingival recessions. the goal of this study was to compare the clinical results of gingival recession treatment using subepithelial connective tissue graft and an acellular dermal matrix allograft. materials and methods: the present study was performed on 5 patients with 9 bilateral miller`s class i or ii gingival ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility to use high-frequency ultrasound imaging for the assessment of periodontal structures. MATERIAL AND METHODS A commercially available ultrasound scanner (Ultrasonix SonoTouch) with a linear 1.5 cm footprint, wideband 8 - 40MHz transducer was used, with external transcutaneous approach. A number of 4 patients with healthy perio...

INTRODUCTION Gingiva is a common site for reactive, non-neoplastic, and neoplastic lesions with unspecific clinical features (Fig. 1): desquamative gingivitis as expression of mucocutaneous diseases (lichen planus, pemphigus, pemphigoid, plasma-cell gingivitis, lupus erythematosus), preneoplastic lesions (gingival verrucous proliferative leukoplakia), and gingival enlargements (gingival fibroma...

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...
