Introduction: It is important to preserve epithelial and connective tissue attachment at its original level after periapical surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the periodontal parameters after using the papilla base flap and the sulcular full-thickness flap procedures. Methods: Fourteen healthy patients with no periodontal disease referred for surgical treatment of periapical lesions...

AIM The purpose of the present study was to describe and evaluate a new incision technique: the papilla base incision. METHODOLOGY Twenty healthy patients referred for surgical treatment of persisting apical periodontitis, who were free of periodontal disease and had intact interdental papillae were included in the study. The preoperative papilla height was recorded by measuring the distance ...

this case report describes the clinical application of the coronally advanced flap procedure associated with the subepithelial connective tissue pedicle graft with palatal tunneling for the reconstruction of interproximal papillae. in this modified technique the distal end of the pedicle graft was divided into two parts, creating a bifid, which were then placed around the abutment and sutured o...

Introduction The surgical removal of an impacted lower third molar (LM3) is a common operation that generally requires the elevation mucoperiosteal flap. triangular and envelope flap designs have been extensively studied are mostly described in literature. However, Denmark, technique where papilla between adjacent second first spared (papilla sparing [PSF]), used. This has limited presence aims...

Gingival recession is one of the most common soft tissue problems, especially when it hinders the esthetics of a patient. Gingival recession can further lead to root caries, sensitivity, and difficulty in plaque control. Moreover, exposed roots are prone to abrasion and erosion. Periodontal plastic surgery is one of the emerging fields, which helps to meet such soft tissue problems. Currently, ...

AIM The aim of these case reports was to evaluate the effectiveness of a subepithelial connective tissue graft with a coronally advanced flap to reconstruct an interdental papilla. BACKGROUND In the last decade, esthetics has become a major concern in periodontal therapy. One of the most difficult and elusive goals for the periodontist in the esthetic aspect of periodontal therapy is the reco...

Treatment of intrabony defects is always a difficult task to manage for periodontist. Various problems have been encountered like black triangle, increased food lodgement, plaque accumulation and ultimately failure procedure were experienced. Thus more conservative approaches papilla preservation flaps Non-incised Papillae surgical are preferred. But due drawbacks existent techniques there was ...
