AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors associated with the fill of inter-dental spaces by gingival papillae. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-six adult subjects were evaluated. Papilla score (PS), tooth form/shape, interproximal contact length and gingival thickness were recorded for 672 maxillary anterior and first pre-molar interproximal sites. Statistical analyses included a non...

PURPOSE The aim of this investigation was to analyze the dimensions of clinical crowns and to classify the crown and the gingival type in the anterior teeth in Korean young adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS Casts were obtained from 50 subjects ranging in age from 24 to 32. Measurements of length and width were made on the casts using a pair of digital calipers on the entire dentition. Crown thick...

The flow dynamics of small-width wall-attached jets generated by a Coand-effect nozzle is investigated unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulations. data are validated comparison with hot-wire velocity measurements performed on the same configurations. exhibit complex topology strongly influenced not only spanwise vorticity (as usually observed in wall jets) but also component normal to...

PURPOSE To investigate the clinical and histologic features of frictional keratoses located exclusively on the facial attached gingiva and establish whether these belong to the category of leukoplakia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Over a period of 15 years, 159 patients presenting with oral keratotic plaques, located exclusively on the facial attached gingival mucosa, excluding the edentulous alveol...

Though the necessity to place the finish line into the gingival sulcus obviously has a negative effect on the quality of the impression,4,8-10 aspects of gingival retraction have only been sparsely investigated.3-5 The aim of gingival retraction is to allow access for the impression material beyond the abutment margins and to create space for the impression material to be sufficiently thick. Te...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Endo perio lesions are common conditions that are often difficult to diagnose and are persistent if not treated completely. However, if the patient’s history is taken carefully and thorough evaluation of all possible routes of infection is carried out, a properly done endodontic treatment is sufficient to eliminate the infection. However, wherever a secondary periodontal ...

This case series study predictability of free gingival graft in management recession. 3 cases with mucogingival problems needing grafts were selected. First, the recipient site was anesthetized and de-epithelialization done bed prepared. After tracing palatal donor aluminium foil template, bleeding points marked harvested. For root modification tooth, conditioning dentin by EDTA. Graft is close...

Collections of exfoliated cells on Millipore filters, which retain the topographical relationships of the cells collected, previously have been used to examine keratinization and inflammation of adult gingivae. In the present study, samples of epithelial and inflammatory cells were obtained from the anterior maxillary gingivae of threeto five-year-old children using this technique. The oral hyg...

BACKGROUND Various surgical techniques have been proposed for treating gingival recession. This randomized clinical trial compared the coronally positioned flap (CPF) alone or in conjunction with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) in the treatment of gingival recession. METHODS Eleven non-smoking subjects with bilateral and comparable Miller Class I recession defects were selected...
