Gingival recession is commonly associated with plaque-induced inflammation and calculus. A high frenal attachment is more important in gingival recession in the child-patient. A healthy child-patient with impeccable oral hygiene presented with localized gingival recession without plaque-induced inflammation which led to the exploration of other possible etiologies. Multiple factors appeared to ...

To the Editors: Y splitting for the treatment of up or down shoots in Duane’s syndrome was first described by Jampolsky in 1980.1 Apart from Y splitting of the lateral rectus muscle, the other surgical options for patients with Duane’s retraction syndrome (DRS) with up and down shoots described previously include simple lateral rectus recession combined with medial and lateral rectus muscle rec...

A Visual Basic program for an Excel spreadsheet was written to construct a master recession curve (MRC), using the adapted matching strip method, for recession analysis of ground water level time series. The program uses five different linear/nonlinear regression models to adjust individual recession segments to their proper positions in the MRC. The program can also be used to analyze the rece...

A classification system facilitates the communication and understanding of common standardized identification of the nature of cases, helps in diagnosis, prognosis and finally suitable treatment plan for the condition. Gingival recession, a common condition leading to exposure of root surfaces, is seen in both dentally aware population and those with limited access to dental care. There are sev...

As discussed in section I.A, there is substantial evidence that during the Great Recession employers responded to decreases in product demand through cutting payroll employment rather than by cutting wages. Figures A-1 and A-2 document this descriptive fact. Figure A-1 shows the national employment to population ratio among prime age workers (25-54) from 1979 to 2013. This ratio fell sharply be...

OBJECTIVES Various coronally repositioned flap (CRF) techniques have been proposed for coverage of gingival recession defects. Although CRF has several modifications all of them needs vertical or oblique external releasing incisions for treatment of localized gingival recession defects. The aim of present article was to evaluate the effectiveness of a modification of the new CRF procedure witho...

purpose: to compare the results of conventional hang-back technique (chbt) with that of anchored hang-back technique (ahbt) for bilateral lateral rectus (lr) recession in patients with exotropia. methods: in this randomized clinical trial, 60 patients underwent chbt (group 1) or ahbt (group 2) for lr recession (30 patients in each group). preoperative and postoperative deviation, age, sex, the ...

background and aim . gingival recession as the apical migration of the gingival margin that results in exposure of the cementoenamel junction (cej) and the root surface. in this case series we aimed to demonstrate a combination technique using semilunar coronally positioned flap with free gingival graft for root coverage. materials and methods . a total of 12 healthy subjects, 25-45 years of ag...

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...
