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: 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...

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...

Patients today have become excessively concerned about esthetics. These esthetic concerns of patients have become an integral part of periodontal practice. Gingival recession is an esthetic problem that can be successfully treated by means of several mucogingival surgical approaches, any of which can be used, provided that the biologic conditions for accomplishing root coverage are satisfied wi...

Rat tumors and other tissues of foreign species grow actively in the chick embryo until the onset of a refractory period. Grafts of rat sarcoma established and growing actively at the onset of this period show a rapid cessation of growth between the 18th and 19th days of incubation. This is followed by a widespread degeneration of the rat cells and a marked activity of the connective tissue ele...

When hard tissue augmentation is scheduled as a part of an oral rehabilitation, prior to the treatment, it is important to assess if the quality of the underlying gingiva at the recipient site can support the bone grafting procedure. The most frequent complication during autologous onlay grafts are wound dehiscences in the recipient site, so the integrity of soft tissues is a basic aspect of su...

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 ...

BACKGROUND Subepithelial connective tissue grafts have been shown to be effective in obtaining root coverage. However, little is known about the long-term results. The goal of this study was to evaluate and compare the short-term (13.0 weeks) and long-term (27.5 months) root coverage results obtained with subepithelial connective tissue grafts. METHODS One-hundred patients with 146 Miller Cla...
