AIM The purpose of this article is to report on the five-year follow-up of a case involving treatment of gingival recession with a subepithelial connective tissue graft prior to orthodontic tooth movement. BACKGROUND Gingival recession has a global prevalence that varies from 3 to 100 percent depending on the population studied and the method of analysis. In addition, the frequency of recessi...

Objectives: Coronally Advance Flap (CAF) effectiveness has been extensively evaluated, but little information is available regarding the effect of tooth position. This study aimed to evaluate influence location on outcomes CAF with subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) in treatment gingival recessions defects (GRs). Materials and Methods: Nineteen patients who a mean age 36.3 ±7.6 years ...

Fear of losing the teeth is common among patients presenting with gingival recession. This report describes a case in which unusual gingival recessions were caused by lip piercing. Periodontal treatment involved removal of the causative agent, hygiene instruction, scaling and root planing, and coverage of the root with a subepithelial connective tissue graft. The therapeutic measures applied in...

objective: the aim of this study was to compare subepithelial connective tissue grafts (sctg) and coronally advanced flaps (caf) with the addition of emdogain in the treatment of gingival recession. materials and methods : this interventional randomized controlled clinical trial involved eleven patients and 31 teeth demonstrating facial recessions of > 2 mm identified as miller's class i or ii....

This case report describes the treatment of a maxillary canine that had 4 mm of marginal gingival recession. The exposed root had been previously restored with a composite class 5 restoration. The restoration was removed and the root planed and demineralized. The root was then covered by a subepithelial connective tissue graft harvested from the palate. The flap was coronally positioned to comp...
