Filter by:The predictable treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions (MAGRs) represents a major challenge in periodontal plastic surgeries due to MAGRs' complicated predisposing anatomic features, such as thin gingival phenotype or limited keratinized tissue. The present study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy and postoperative morbidity of de-epithelialized gingival graft (DGG) compared to subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) on the treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions (MAGRs) with tunnel technique (TUN). A total of 38 patients, who have been referred to the Gazi University Faculty of Dentistry Department of Periodontology, were randomly assigned to receive TUN in combination with either DGG or SCTG. Clinical measurements were recorded at baseline and at 3, 6 and 12 months after surgeries. Immediately after surgery, a questionnaire was given to each patient evaluating postoperative pain, patients' discomfort, sensitivity and bleeding at 1, 2, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after surgery. Moreover, the characteristics of the grafts harvested by these two different techniques were evaluated histopathologically and histomorphometrically.
Trait anxiety is the tendency of an individual to perceive environmental stimuli such as different events and situations as threatening; it's stable and reflects how an individual generally feels. In 2015, it was estimated that 3.6% of the population lived with anxiety disorders globally, i.e. approximately 264 million people lived with anxiety disorders worldwide of which 31.36 million resided in the Eastern Mediterranean region, that's to say, 10% of the global number of anxiety cases. Moreover, females were more affected than males in a proportion of 4.6% as opposed to 2.6% respectively. The prevalence of anxiety has increased by 14.9% from 2005 to 2015. In addition, in 2017, approximately 42 million new cases were recorded globally. In Egypt, the total number of anxiety cases were more than 3 million in 2015 thus indicating that 4.2% of the total population lived with anxiety. Anxiety may affect the individual's utilization of dental services and predispose to a delay in seeking dental treatment and thus might compromise the overall oral health. Accordingly, this study aims to investigate the effect of trait anxiety on the oral health status of women and determine their behavior towards the utilization of dental services. To our knowledge, no previous research has been conducted to assess such relationship in Egypt.
This study hypothesized that CGFs' placement together with CAF may enhance the healing of soft tissues better than use of PRF together with CAF. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the clinical effects of CGF in combination with CAF compared to the clinical effect of PRF in combination with CAF in the treatment of adjacent multiple GRs.
This double blind, randomized, split mouth study evaluates the non-inferiority of Geistlich Fibro-Gide® in comparison to connective tissue graft for the treatment of Miller Class I or II recession defects at 6 months post treatment.
To predict root coverage in Miller class III gingival recessions in chronic periodontitis patients using interdisciplinary orthodontic-periodontal surgical treatment as compared to periodontal surgical treatment alone.
The aim of this study is to estimate the effect of periodontal phenotype on the outcome of isolated gingival recession by laterally positioned flap.The primary objective of study is to assess the changes in gingival margin in the donor tooth after laterally positioned flap over a period of 6 months and to assess the influence of periodontal phenotype on the stability of results of root coverage achieved through laterally positioned flap. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate root coverage by laterally positioned flap in thick periodontal phenotype and to evaluate root coverage by laterally positioned flap in thin periodontal phenotype.
Several surgical techniques and various adjunctive agents have been used to covered Gingival Recession (GR) and promote clinical outcomes. The treatment of the GR more used (gold standard) is the root coverage with surgical procedures and connective tissue graft, but it has limitations due to the conditions of the donor graft. Is necessary develop other biomaterials for these cases. The platelet rich fibrin is a autologous biomaterial that has gained tremendous momentum having been utilized for a variety of dental and medical procedures including periodontal surgeries. However, results remain contradictory and mainly focus on the hard and soft tissue healing, aesthetics and postoperative discomfort. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical effects of coronal advanced flap (CAF) and CAF + Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) on Root coverage (RC) over a period of 24 month.
In a recent meta-analysis, Graziani et al. reported that despite the "ideal" treatment for multiple gingival recession defects is not yet identified, there are some indirect suggestions from the analyzed data that, in comparison to the traditional coronally advanced flap (CAF) approach, the use of additional grafting, modifications of the flap technique or tunnel variation with connective tissue graft (CTG) may improve clinical results. Furthermore, various allografts or replacement biomaterials have been developed instead of a connective tissue graft in order to reduce patient morbidity. A newly developed porcine-derived bio-resorbable collagen matrix (CM) (Fibro-Gide) has been recently introduced as an alternative to CTG in periodontal plastic surgery. The aim of this study will be to compare the outcomes of two muco-gingival surgery techniques, the modified coronali advanced flap (MCAF) for multiple recession defects and the modified coronally advanced tunnel technique (MCAT), performed in the Department of Periodontology of San Raffaele Hospital with the results reported in the literature. Secondarily, the study will evaluate whether patients report a preference in terms of discomfort and perception of aesthetics between the two surgical techniques.
evaluation of the use of L-PRF membrane with coronally repositioned flap in treatment of localized gingival recession (Class I & II) in comparison with the use of connective tissue graft
The current study is a prospective randomised split mouth study to evaluate the effect of Platelet Rich Fibrin as an adjunct to the minimally invasive pinhole surgical technique.
