Frenal attachments are thin folds of mucous membrane with enclosed muscle fibers that attach the lips to the alveolar mucosa and underlying periosteum. Most often, during the oral examination of the patient the dentist gives very little importance to the frenum. The frena may jeopardize the gingival health when they are attached too closely to the gingival margin, either due to interference in ...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Purpose: Tooth brushing is the most commonly recommended and performed oral hygiene behaviour by North Americans and is done ubiquitously in developed nations. It is the primary mechanical means for removing dental plaque, thereby assisting in the prevention of oral diseases including gingivitis and dental caries. The aim of this paper is to report on an investigation of the c...

Purpose: To do a clinical evaluation of the results of the treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions with VISTA technique (Vestibular Incision Subperiostal Tunnel Access) and platelet-rich fibrin membrane (PRF m). Methods and materials: The study included 30 participants (19 women and 11 men) with multiple adjacent gingival recessions on both jaws of Miller’s Class I and Class II. The ...

Focused Clinical Question: What are the key considerations for selecting the best surgical approach in mucogingival plastic surgery? Summary: Treatment of gingival recession has become an important therapeutic issue due to the increasing number of cosmetic requests from patients. The dual goals of mucogingival treatment include complete root coverage, up to the cemento-enamel junction, and blen...

Glacial retreat creates new habitat which is colonized and developed by plants and animals during the process of primary succession. While there has been much debate about the relative role of deterministic and stochastic processes during terrestrial succession, evidence from freshwater ecosystems remains minimal and a general consensus is lacking. Using a unique 27 years record of community as...

Many patients seek to pursue orthodontic treatment for esthetic improvement. These patients present with malalignment of the anterior teeth. There was strong correlation between the severity and extent of gingival recessions and past orthodontic treatment, it was suggested that orthodontic tooth movement may lead to gingival recession. The principal objective in the treatment of gingival recess...

Background: The ideal goal of periodontal therapy has been the regeneration of the periodontium, resulting in the complete restoration of lost periodontal tissues. This study was taken up so as to evaluate the effi cacy the Dental Rubber Dam as a barrier membrane in the treatment of infrabony defects. Methods: Fifteen patients who were diagnosed to have mild to moderate periodontitis having at ...

Acute streptococcal gingivitis is an acute inflammation of the oral mucosa. Specific bacterial infections of the gingiva may be due to neisseria gonorrhea, treponema pallidum, streptococci, and other organisms. Streptococcal infections are seen rarely. This case report describes a patient who presented with severe gingival inflammation and pain that was diagnosed as an acute streptococcal infec...

Cliff recession poses a significant threat to the built environment, transportation infrastructure and land use. In this paper, novel computational framework called Nodal-integration based Particle Finite Element Method (N-PFEM) is developed for modelling cliff resulting from weathering-induced landslides. The N-PFEM combines nodal-integration technique with PFEM in second-order cone programmin...
