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...

Soft tissue dehiscence around dental implant has frequently been observed and it may lead to poor oral hygiene, especially around crowns that exhibit contours with prominent convexity. The present case demonstrates a peri-implant mucosal dehiscence coverage with modified semilunar coronary positioned flap (CPF) in #15 and 16. A semilunar partial-thickness incision was performed 7-10 mm apical f...

Introduction: Gingival recession (GR) is the location of marginal periodontal tissues apical to cemento-enamel junction. Treatment GR can be done by free gingival graft, laterally positioned pedicle flap, coronally displaced and subepithelial connective tissue semilunar repositioned flap (SCRF). The purpose this case report highlight simplicity carrying out SCRP procedure its long-term benefits...

statement of problem: one of the main goals in periodontal therapy is the correction of recession defects; therefore the efficacy and predictability of the various techniques are important considerations for clinicians. purpose: the purpose of this pilot study was to compare the outcomes of gingival recession therapy using the semilunar coronally repositioned flap (scrf) alone and in conjunctio...

The clinical and histological features of wound healing of three common types of surgical flap designs used in periapical surgery were evaluated. A semilunar incision of alveolar mucosa, a submarginal incision of attached gingiva, and an intrasulcular incision of the attachment apparatus and papillae of the teeth were performed on beagles and observed at intervals of up to 60 days. Inflammatory...

Apicectomy has become an integral part of a comprehensive dental treatment. The primary objective of apicectomy is to eradicate the aetiological agents of periapical pathoses and to restore the periodontium to a state of biologic and functional health. The aim of this study was to evaluate patient experience of quality of life following apicoectomy using two different flap design gingival (enve...

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...

injury, I opened the joint, under spray, by a semilunar-shaped incision, extending from side to side across the front of the joint, its convexity passing over the lower part of the patella. By reflecting upwards the flap thus formed, the patella was completely exposed, and was found broken into five pieces. A horizontal fracture divided the bone into two nearly equal portions which were widely ...
