Abstract Introduction The portion of the keratinized gingiva that is firmly attached to bone a significant determinant influencing oral hygiene and aids in removal deposits from gingival crest, upgrades esthetics, minimizes erythema area restituted dentition. Aim To assess an interrelation among thickness gingiva, erythema, dental hygiene. An vestibular height, Materials Methods A transverse st...

AIM The aim of the present review was to systematically assess the dental literature in terms of soft tissue grafting techniques. The focused question was: is one method superior over others for augmentation and stability of the augmented soft tissue in terms of increasing the width of keratinized tissue (part 1) and gain in soft tissue volume (part 2). METHODS A Medline search was performed ...

Gingival fibromatosis (GF) is characterized by a slow and progressive proliferation that can affect the marginal attached gingiva, or inter-dental papillae. This condition be localized generalized, with varying degrees of severity.GF may develop in susceptible individuals as side effect systemic medications idiopathic gingival fibromatosis. It also related to hereditary factors occurs non-syndr...

The successful management of labially unerupted maxillary central incisors requires a coordinated surgical, orthodontic and general practitioner approach. The key to achieving maximal eruption of these teeth is their surgical exposure, central to which is the philosophy that the surgeon must provide a functional width of attached gingiva on the labial surface. This case describes the incorporat...

Objectives: To compare and evaluate the surgical outcome of gingival recession treatment using CAF alone or in conjunction with hyaluronic acid (HA) on Miller's Class I class II defects. Materials methods : After randomisation, control group (15 patients) received test HA as an adjunct to technique for isolated accompanied by adequate width keratinized gingiva maxillary canines premolars. All p...

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...
