INTRODUCTION Metastatic mesothelioma to the oral cavity arises from the pleura or peritoneum and distant hematogenous metastases are seen in more than half of cases but only a few cases are reported to the oral cavity. CASE A 75 year old male suffering from metastatic mesothelioma presents an hyperplasia of the attached gingiva. Malignant mesothelioma is a rare tumour arising from pleura, per...

The optical power density in biotissue is an important issue for photobiomodulation (PBM) clinical applications. In our previous study, the maximal dose and distributions of 830 nm lasers under human skin could be exactly calculated measured. this work, laser tissue can changed by adjusting focal point lens. From experimental results, it evident that densities on attached gingiva surrounding ti...

The clinical and histological features of wound healing of three common types of surgical flap designs used in periapical surgery were evaluated. A semilunar incision of alveolar mucosa, a submarginal incision of attached gingiva, and an intrasulcular incision of the attachment apparatus and papillae of the teeth were performed on beagles and observed at intervals of up to 60 days. Inflammatory...

Esthetic concerns of patient have become an essential part of dentistry, especially periodontics. Root coverage is being achieved by a variety of surgical techniques. The presence of shallow vestibule, inadequate width of attached gingiva and aberrant frenum pull may pose a challenge to cover the denuded root surface for which several independent surgical solutions are reported in the literatur...

In the mandibular anterior area, gingival recession can be associated with a minimal amount or lack of attached gingiva, a shallow vestibule, and high frenum insertion. These anatomical features may preclude the use of traditional root coverage procedures. This case series describes a a bilaminar technique with flap incision in the fornix for the treatment of adjacent gingival recession defects...

This article proposes a combined technique including bone grafting, connective tissue graft, and coronally advanced flap to create some space for simultaneous bone regrowth and root coverage. A 23 year-old female was referred to our private clinic with a severe class II Miller recession and lack of attached gingiva. The suggested treatment plan comprised of root coverage combined with xenograft...

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...

We report two cases of peripheral odontogenic fibroma the maxillary anterior gingiva. The first patient was a 46-year-old woman with three-year history painless mass near left lateral incisor tooth. Intraoral examination revealed firm nodule smooth surface. CT images showed radiolucent lesion consistent mass. second 41-year-old who had been aware an asymptomatic hemorrhagic situated in midline ...
