abstract background and aims. the aim of this study was to evalute the effect of double pedicle graft (dpg) with and without plasma rich in growth factor (prgf) in the treatment of miller's cl i and ii gingival recessions. materials and methods. thirty two bilateral buccal gingival miller’s cl i and ii recessions were selected. sixteen of the recessions were treated with dpg and prgf (test grou...

Gingival recession can result in an unesthetic appearance, hypersensitivity, and root caries. The physiological well-being of the patient is a significant factor associated with the success of dental therapy. Esthetics is one of the main concerns of the patient if recession is present especially in anteriors. Hence, the treatment of choice for root coverage for the anterior teeth should address...

Gingival recession can result in an unesthetic appearance, hypersensitivity, and root caries. The physiological well-being of the patient is a significant factor associated with success dental therapy.Numerous techniques are advocated for coverage. Although, connective tissue graft serves as gold standard, it requires second surgical site -a major disadvantage. When aesthetic demand high vestib...

s: Background: Most commonly palatal region is used as the donor site for obtaining connective tissue graft for root coverage as it has the advantage of providing a wide area for obtaining the graft. In the cases requiring small size of graft other intraoral regions can also be used. This is a case report which demonstrates the use of interdental papilla for obtaining connective tissue for root...

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, ...

Marginal tissue recession is a common esthetic problem that is usually accompanied by dentin sensitivity, and patients frequently report a fear of dental loss. Lateral sliding flaps have been used for localized recession, but they are rarely used for multiple recessions. The aim of this paper was to report a case of coverage of multiple marginal tissue recessions by means of a lateral sliding f...

Introduction: Ability to reconstruct the papilla in anterior maxilla is important aspect of perio-plastic surgery. In most articles, connective tissue is used with different designs of incisions. The aim of this study was to use sub-epithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) with two types of incisions called papilla preservation and semilunar. Materials & Methods: This basic randomized clinica...

OBJECTIVES The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of interproximal papillae reconstruction around early loaded single implant using subepithelial connective tissue graft in maxillary anterior region. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten systemically healthy patients (mean age = 29.3 [SD 7.9] years) in need of dental implants in maxillary anterior region were included in the study....
