Filter by:Non-inflammatory recessions and Miller class I-II-III. mucogingival defects after elimination of localized gingival enlargements are frequently encountered challenges in the daily practice. In Miller class II-III. recessions the lack of keratinized tissues often compromise the maintenance a proper oral hygiene, this can cause inflammation, which can result in further periodontal attachment loss. In the literature there are some approaches that aim at widening of keratinized tissues and root coverage at the same time, such as the subperiosteal envelope technique (SET) (Allen 1994) combined with a subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) or a partially epithelialized connective tissue graft (PE-SCTG) (Stimmelmayr 2011). In the eradication of localized gingival enlargement postoperative complications following surgical removal, such as recurrence and subsequent gingival recessions as well as loss of keratinized tissues are commonly observed. Nevertheless, a state of the art comprehensive treatment approach has not been reported yet to overcome the above mentioned sequels. The aim of this study is to present a periodontal plastic surgical approach to definitively eliminate localized gingiva enlargements and to simultaneously correct consecutive Miller class I II-III. recessions, esthetic disturbances.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hyaluronic acid gel after photobiomodulation on the healing of surgical gingivectomy sites
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of PRF, CGF and AFG application on early wound healing after gingivectomy and gingivoplasty operations. In the study designed split mouth, gingivectomy and gingivoplasty surgery were performed on 19 patients. The postoperative PRF, CGF, and AFG applied areas were compared with the control regions. 0th,7 th,14 th and 28 th on the days, the surgical area was painted with mira-2-tone solution and evaluated in the ImageJ program. Measurements of clinical periodontal parameters including PI, GI, SC and SD were recorded at the beginning, after IPT and 28 days after the operation. Wound healing was evaluated with H2O2 test, VAS-Pain, and LTH index on 7th, 14th and 28th days. The patients were asked to evaluate their aesthetic perceptions on the VAS aesthetic scale.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and determine clinical and biochemical comparison of 3 different methods including Er:YAG laser, diod laser, and conventional techniques. Method: This study was conducted on 32 female, 13 male, a total of 45 individuals (study group patients) with an indication of resective gingival surgery in the anterior region of the maxillar anterior regions and 11 female, 4 men, a total of 15 individuals (negative control group patients) with a healthy gingiva. Clinical periodontal parameters, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) KGF-2 and VEGF-A levels and gingival temperature levels were recorded before the investigation and during operations with 3 different techniques, gingival temperature was measured. Gingival temperature and epithelization levels in 3, 7, 14 and 21 days; GCF KGF-2 and VEGF-A levels in 14 and 21 days and pain levels between 1-7 days of post-operative healing process were evaluated. Preoperative anxiety and postoperative satisfaction were evaluated through questionnaires
Since the introduction of the lip repositioning procedure by a number of modifications to the technique have been introduced. All these modifications were made to prevent the main complication of lip repositioning surgeries 'relapse'. Relapse was found to occur in 8% of the cases treated . Botox injections have been suggested as a possible treatment for cases with relapse Botox acts by blocking muscular activity, however, Botulinum toxin technique has a transitory effect (6-7 months). . By combining Botox as a pretreatment and lip repositioning surgery, Botox injections maybe a useful adjunct in improving and stabilizing the results of achieved, by paralyzing the muscles during the healing period. There are no studies, to the investigator's knowledge, exploring the use of botox combined with lip repositioning to decrease muscle pull and therefore decrease the relapse.
Aim: Gingival enlargement is a common clinical condition which requires surgical approaches to alleviating these enlargement areas. The aim of this study was to investigate epithelization, gingival temperature, inflammation and pain levels in post-operative healing process in 4 different gingivectomy techniques including Er:YAG laser, Nd:YAG laser, electrosurgery and conventional gingivectomy in treatment of chronic inflammatory gingival enlargements. Material and Method: A split-mouth designed study was conducted on 37 systemically healthy patients consisting of 19 females and 18 males, who had gingival enlargement areas on the left and right of maxillary and mandibular anterior regions. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples were collected, clinical periodontal parameters and gingival temperature levels were recorded at baseline and in the postoperative period. The gingival temperature was measured during surgical procedures. Gingival temperature and epithelization levels in 3rd, 7th, 10th and 15th days; GCF levels in 15th, 30th, and 90th days and pain levels in 2nd and 8th hours and between 1st-7th days of post-operative healing process were evaluated.
This study would be conducted to assess the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy, hyaluronic acid gel and herbal gel as adjunctive aids in the healing of gingivectomy wounds. As the gingivectomy wound heals by secondary intention, this study aims to compare the healing potential of low-level laser therapy, hyaluronic acid gel and herbal gel when applied topically at baseline, 1st day,3rd day and 7th day after gingivectomy procedure.
Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances usually develop gingival enlargement (GE). Its development is usually attribute to chronic inflammation, and may cause both esthetic and functional problems for the patient. In many cases, the gingival hyperplasia demands periodontal surgery in order to increase the length of the crown during or after the orthodontic treatment. Previously conventional surgical procedures were performed using a scalpel under local anaesthesia for these procedures. Lately the use of laser has been proposed. The majority of the studies comparing laser gingivectomy with scalpel gingivectomy show some limits: they are not randomized, they are not prospective, and they have no control group. The primary objective of the present investigation was to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the effectiveness of diode laser gingivectomy versus scalpel gingivectomy in the management of periodontal health among patients receiving fixed orthodontic appliance therapy, compared with a non surgical control group.
Aesthetics for individuals become increasingly important, while the aesthetic effects of periodontal disease is an important issue that should be assessed by the patient's perception. The results demonstrate that the periodontal aesthetic perception scale showed reliable and valid scores in healthy controls and periodontal patients. The periodontal aesthetic perception scale may be an appropriate tool to assess periodontal esthetic in clinical and research settings.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of clinical discomfort and the issues experienced by patients and to use a software image program to compare wound healing during the 2-week period following gingivectomy performed with different techniques.
