This case series reports the various treatment modalities to treat multiple recessions. Gingival recession is a widespread clinical manifestation affecting single or root surfaces at all teeth types. Periodontal reconstructive surgery consists of mucogingival procedures. The primary goal these procedures benefit periodontal health through reconstruction lost hard and soft tissues, by preventing...

Gingival recession can result in an unesthetic appearance, hypersensitivity, and root caries. The physiological well-being of the patient is a significant factor associated with success dental therapy.Numerous techniques are advocated for coverage. Although, connective tissue graft serves as gold standard, it requires second surgical site -a major disadvantage. When aesthetic demand high vestib...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To provide a description of the techniques and limitations of nasoseptal flap takedown and reuse during second-stage and revision endoscopic skull base surgery and review the institutional experience with the use of this reconstructive technique. STUDY DESIGN : Case series. METHODS A retrospective analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak outcomes was performed for a ...

The objective of this case report is to describe a surgical and prosthetic technique to create a lost papilla following orthodontic space opening (Atherton´s patch) through implant supported rehabilitation. A switching platform implant was used to replace a left maxillary canine in a unitary interdental edentulous ridge with Atherton´s patch in the distal area of the upper lateral left incisor....

BACKGROUND Cranial base defects are challenging to reconstruct without serious complications. Although free tissue transfer has been used widely and efficiently, it still has the limitation of requiring a long operation time along with the burden of microanastomosis and donor site morbidity. We propose using a reverse temporalis muscle flap and calvarial bone graft as an alternative option to a...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the efficacy of using a galeopericranial flap for reconstruction of anterior cranial base defects. METHODS In Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital from February 1994 to November 2003, 25 patients who had tumors of the skull base underwent craniofacial resection, and a galeopericranial flap was used to reconstruct the anterior cranial base defect. The galeopericranial fla...

PURPOSE Pink gingival esthetic especially on the anterior teeth has been an important success criterion in implant-supported restoration. Inter-implant papillae are a critical factor for implant esthetics, and various techniques for inter-implant papilla reconstruction have been introduced. The aim of this study is to suggest and evaluate a surgical technique for reconstructing inter-implant pa...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To conceive and critically evaluate an adaptation of the split calvarial osteopericranial flap for reconstruction following endoscopic endonasal resection of the anterior skull base. STUDY DESIGN Cadaveric anatomic study. METHODS Five cadavers were embalmed with methanol, and vasculature was injected with latex. Endoscopic endonasal resection of the anterior skull base...

Marginal tissue recession is a common esthetic problem that is usually accompanied by dentin sensitivity, and patients frequently report a fear of dental loss. Lateral sliding flaps have been used for localized recession, but they are rarely used for multiple recessions. The aim of this paper was to report a case of coverage of multiple marginal tissue recessions by means of a lateral sliding f...
