background and aim: the aim of the present study was to compare coronally advanced flap (caf) with amniotic membrane to caf with connective tissue graft (ctg) in the treatment of miller’s class iⅈ gingival recessions. materials and methods: 11 systemically healthy patients, with 30 miller’s class і and іі gingival recessions ≥3 mm, were selected and randomly divided into two equal groups. gi...

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...

background and aims. the aim of the present cross-sectional study was to evaluate the effect of smoking on gingival recession in smoking and non-smoking young adults. materials and methods. the subjects consisted of 158 adults (75 males and 83 females), including 85 smokers and 73 non-smokers, with an age range of 18-33 years. all the subjects were clinically examined and answered questions reg...

BACKGROUND The periodontal disease is a complex chronic progressive inflammatory and destructive process of the tooth attachment apparatus: gingiva, alveolar bone, desmodontium, cementum. Systemic osteoporosis has a potential influence on both the periodontal and gingival inflammation indices, on the gingival recession (GR) and teeth mobility. The aim of this study was to investigate the possib...

background: the aim of this clinical trial study was to clinically evaluate the use of enamel matrix protein derivative combined with the coronally positioned fl ap to treat gingival recession compared to the subepithelial connective tissue graft by a new method to obtain denuded root surface area. materials and methods: thirteen patients, each with two or more similar bilateral miller class i ...

Background: Apical shifting of marginal gingiva results into gingival recession whether occuring locally or in generalized form is a common and undesirable condition. Treatment results and prognoses of Miller's Class IV gingival recession defects using presently available surgical techniques are not satisfactory. The present case was done with aim and objective of establishing a new technique f...

ORAL & Implantology Anno I N. 3-4/2008 137 The gingival recession is clinically defined as the apical movement of the gingival margin to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) (1). Histologically it is characterised by the loss of connective fibres of the periodontal tissue and alveolar bone (2). This clinical condition is frequently noticed in the population and particularly among patients with high...

The gingival recession was assessed in 380 adult individuals aged more than 20 years and comprised both subjects being treated and looking for treatment at Bauru Dental School. Clinical evaluation was conducted by a single examiner in all teeth and involved analysis of four dental aspects (mesial, buccal, distal and lingual). The gingival recession was regarded as present whenever more than 1mm...

The soft tissue architecture is an important part of an attractive smile. Autogenous connective grafts have been successful in treating gingival recession. Their availability, however, is limited by palatal anatomy. Acellular dermal matrices have been shown to be successful in the treatment of gingival recession and do not have availability problems. Traditional flap elevation can lead to shrin...

objective: different surgical procedures have been proposed for the treatment of gingival recessions. the goal of this study was to compare the clinical results of gingival recession treatment using subepithelial connective tissue graft and an acellular dermal matrix allograft. materials and methods: the present study was performed on 5 patients with 9 bilateral miller`s class i or ii gingival ...
