Background: Being an autologous graft, a subepithelial connective tissue (SECT) graft shows more predictable root coverage better than other techniques. Hence, it is most likely to be widely used for recession treatment. During planing, smear layer forms on the surface that cannot removed by water or saline rinsing. To remove this layer, biomodification agents are used. The present study was co...

The state space explosion due to concurrency and timing constraints of concurrent real-time systems (CRTS) presents significant challenges to the verification engineers. In this paper, we investigate how to use coverage techniques to generate efficient test plans for such systems. We first discuss how to use communicating timed automata to model CRTS. We present a new coverage technique, AZC (a...

Several techniques and materials have been introduced for the treatment of gingival recession defects. This article reports the case of a 43-year old female patient with chief complaint of esthetic problem, presenting multiple gingival recession defects in anterior maxilla. CenoDerm combined with coronally positioned flap was used for management of six teeth with gingival recession. Complete ro...

Introduction: A single incision palatal harvest technique was applied to minimize the size of the palatal wound and to allow for primary closure of the donor site, which may result in reduced postoperative discomfort. Aim: This case presentation describes the use of a coronally positioned flap with subepithelial connective tissue graft using a single incision technique for the treatment of dent...

O ver the years, mucogingival surgery has developed into an integral part of periodontal therapy. Mucogingival defects and deformities are conditions that deviate from the normal anatomic relationship between the gingival margin and mucogingival junction. Some of the most common conditions are gingival recession, an absence or insufficient amount of keratinized tissue, and the presence of probi...

The total removal of a lesion via excisional biopsy causes gingival recession, resulting in dentin hypersensitivity and esthetical problems. In this case report, a gingival recession defect resulting from an excisional biopsy was treated with a free gingival grafting procedure performed during the same appointment, and its 12-year follow-up was presented. A 44-year-old female patient was presen...
