In periodontal practice, root coverage after marginal soft tissue recession requires daily clinical decisions. Numerous longitudinal human studies have been presented to support the efficacy and predictability of different mucogingival surgical techniques for root coverage. Over the years, root coverage procedure using the subepithelial connective tissue graft with variations has emerged as the...

Various studies have documented that, gingival biotype plays a very important role in success of root coverage, thinner is the biotype less is the blood supply. Evidence gathered by various studies says that, thick gingival biotype allows us to make tissue manipulation better than thin tissue and it also resists trauma and subsequent recession. Thus the present case report discusses the success...

The increasing interest in esthetics and the subsequent need to solve related problems such as dentin hypersensitivity and root caries have favored the development of many surgical techniques that permit the coverage of exposed roots. In this case, a 47-year-old female patient presented seeking resolution of dentin hypersensitivity with multiple gingival recessions in the upper anterior region....

objectives: gingival recession can lead to root exposure and discomfort for patients. there are various techniques for root coverage. the aim of this study was to compare the use of gingival unit graft (palatal graft including the marginal gingiva and papillae) with free gingival graft for treatment of localized gingival recession. materials and methods: in this randomized controlled clinical t...

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...

Focused Clinical Question: What are the key considerations for selecting the best surgical approach in mucogingival plastic surgery? Summary: Treatment of gingival recession has become an important therapeutic issue due to the increasing number of cosmetic requests from patients. The dual goals of mucogingival treatment include complete root coverage, up to the cemento-enamel junction, and blen...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the treatment of gingival recession with a connective tissue graft (CTG) alone or in combination with low-level laser therapy (CTG + L). METHODS Forty patients presenting 40 Miller Class I and II gingival recessions were included. The defects were randomly assigned to receive either CTG (n = 20) or CTG + L (n = 20). A diode laser (660 nm) was applied to the test sites i...

Introduction: Connective tissue can be obtained from the palate using several methods. The single-incision technique may be applied to allow primary intention healing and minimize patient discomfort. Aim: This case presentation describes the consecutive root coverage procedures using the single-incision technique from the palate. Materials and Methods: In this report, two patients were treated ...

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...
