background: localized alveolar ridge defect may create physiological and pathological problems. developments in surgical techniques have made it simpler to change the confi guration of a ridge to create a more aesthetic and more easily cleansable shape. the purpose of this study was to compare the effi cacy of alveolar ridge augmentation using a subepithelial connective tissue graft in pouch an...

background and aims. connective tissue grafts with and without periosteum is used in regenerative treatments of bone and has demonstrated successful outcomes in previous investigations. the aim of present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of connective tissue graft with and without periosteum in regeneration of intrabony defects. materials and methods. in this single-blind randomized spli...

statement of problem: various surgical procedures have been used to achieve root coverage and subepithelial connective tissue graft (sctg) is identified as one of the most successful techniques. recently, acellular dermal matrix allograft (adma) has been developed as a substitute for sctg to avoid removing the palatal connective tissue. purpose: the present study compared the clinical efficienc...

objective: the aim of this study was to compare subepithelial connective tissue grafts (sctg) and coronally advanced flaps (caf) with the addition of emdogain in the treatment of gingival recession. materials and methods : this interventional randomized controlled clinical trial involved eleven patients and 31 teeth demonstrating facial recessions of > 2 mm identified as miller's class i or ii....

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 ...

Introduction: Coverage of bone grafts is very important in reconstructive surgery. In edentulous alveolar ridges this coverage is particularly important for supporting dental prostheses. Here we present the case of a patient with a large deficient maxillary anterior region that was reconstructed with a bilateral palatal submucosal periosteal connective tissue flap: a soft tissue reserve for up...

introduction: nowadays the necessity of the existence of a certain width of keratinized gingiva is emphasized upon to maintain periodontal health and prevent soft tissue recession around teeth and dental implants. this study was carried out to compare two gingival graft procedures including connective tissue graft and graft with a combination of collagen sponge with platelet-rich plasma and pla...
