statement of problem: among periodontal defects, the furcation involvement represents one of the most chalenging scenarios due to the difficulty of achieving a predictable improvement regardless of the type of periodontal therapy. moreover, the presence of furcation involvement has been demonstrated to considerably affect tooth prognosis. thus, treatment of furcation defects is a challenge in c...

Aesthetic concerns and functional abnormalities, such as dentin hypersensitivity, are often associated with gingival recession defects. Root coverage procedures aim to restore both gingival aesthetics and function in recession defects. The coronally positioned flap combined with the subepithelial connective tissue graft is one of the most widely used root coverage procedures. The present report...

Gingival recession is the most common mucogingival defect, characterized by apical migration of the gingival margin from the cementoenamel junction and root exposure. Several surgical techniques are reported for the treatment of gingival recession. Here we present a comparison of the conventional (coronally advanced flap) and semilunar coronally positioned flap techniques for root coverage in t...

The peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a reactive lesion caused by trauma or irritation. The lesions can vary in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Surgical excision is the treatment to be carried out for PGCG. This case report describes the clinical and histopathological findings of PGCG diagnosed in the maxilla of a 24-year-old female, and the treatment of a gingival d...

Introduction: A single incision palatal harvest technique was applied to minimize the size of the palatal wound and to allow for primary closure of the donor site, which may result in reduced postoperative discomfort. Aim: This case presentation describes the use of a coronally positioned flap with subepithelial connective tissue graft using a single incision technique for the treatment of dent...

background and aim . gingival recession as the apical migration of the gingival margin that results in exposure of the cementoenamel junction (cej) and the root surface. in this case series we aimed to demonstrate a combination technique using semilunar coronally positioned flap with free gingival graft for root coverage. materials and methods . a total of 12 healthy subjects, 25-45 years of ag...

Background: Gingival recession has become a serious problem since it high prevalence among the 88% population of world. Various mucogingival therapy becomes treatment choice for gingival recession, such as sub ephitelial connective tissue graft, coronally positioned flap, an acellular dermal matrix application. SureDerm can be used treatment. Case: A 22-year old male patient came to Periodontic...
