Root caries is a lesion located on the root surface of a tooth, usually close to or below the gingival margin. Root caries has become an important dental problem because people are living longer and keeping their teeth longer. As patients grow older, their gums recede and root surfaces are exposed, making them more susceptible to root caries. Any caries-prone patient having gingival recession c...

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 ...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the limbus-insertion distance (LID) of the lateral rectus (LR) muscle can be a useful indicator for predicting the surgical effect of recession surgery in intermittent exotropia (IXT). Patients who underwent unilateral or bilateral LR recession for the basic type of IXT were included. The distance between the corneal limbus and the posterior edge...

The rationale for periodontal plastic surgery was restoration of function, health and esthetics of periodontium from augmentation procedures. The subepithelial connective tissue graft is the gold standard to achieve desirable root coverage. Difficulty arises with the presence of shallow vestibule with no keratinized gingiva and a strong frenum attachment. Hereby presenting a case report to achi...
