Filter by:The overall purpose of this study is to establish an ultrasound technique to aid in oral and dental examination of soft and hard tissues. Ultrasound is currently not used in Dentistry and associated oral examinations and its usefulness for clinical practice will be explored. This study will investigate the use of ultrasonic imaging for planning and placing dental implants, as well as evaluate the use of ultrasonic imaging for monitoring marginal bone loss around dental implants.
This study was conducted to assess the evaluation of micro and Macro surgical approach in the treatment of grade II gingival recessions using the laterally repositioned flap
The gold standard for gingival recession treatment is the coronal repositioning of the flap associated with the subepithelial connective tissue graft. The porcine collagen matrix (PCR) has been used as a substitute for subepithelial connective tissue graft in periodontal plastic surgery and has achieved similar results. The PCR use has the advantage of avoiding possible pre and postoperative complications , as well as overcome the limitations presented by autograft . The different surgical techniques used for root coverage seek predictability and success . For this, besides the type of incision placements flap and graft are the most important because the healing benefits and outcome . The aim of this study is to compare two surgical techniques for root coverage and evaluate which one provides better clinical outcomes and less morbidity . 20 adults , nonsmoking patients , showing multiple bilateral gingival recessions , class I or II Miller located in canine, first and second premolars are selected. Both techniques use the PCR as a graft . However, in one Quadrant partial flap will be held together with relaxing incisions through an intrasulcular incision, PCR will be positioned 1 mm apical to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and the flap will be positioned 1 mm coronal CEJ. In the opposite quadrant periosteal envelope that does not use relaxing incisions, avoiding any scars, will be performed with the PCR. The clinical parameters (gingival recession height and width, keratinized tissue thickness and width) will be evaluated 2 weeks after basic periodontal therapy and after 6 and 12 months to surgical procedures..
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of mesial and distal adjacent gingival biotypes of the tooth / teeth region of free gingival graft (FGG) on the shrinkage ratio of graft at 6 months postoperatively.
Patients with high standards of oral hygiene frequently search for buccal gingival recession (GR) treatment due to cervical wear, root sensitivity and compromising aesthetics. The cervical lesion (NCCL) is commonly produced by improper toothbrushing techniques, sharing the same etiology of GR. Many different surgical approaches have been described. The association of a graft to the coronally advanced flap had demonstrated the best long-term outcome for root coverage. But, substitutes for the autogenous graft must be studied. Therefore, the aim of this clinical trial was to investigate the effectiveness of the acellular dermal matrix graft (ADMG) in root coverage associated with a previous restored cervical lesion or not. Material and methods: Seventeen individuals with bilateral GR were included in the study. At one side, the GR must present a previously restored cervical lesion, as the test group (TG). The contralateral arch, must present GR with an intact root surface (CG). All patients were treated with the extended flap technique associated with the ADMG. All clinical parameters were assessed at baseline and 6-months postoperative.
The aim of the present study is to compare two different multidisciplinary protocols using two types of grafts, porcine acellular dermal matrix (Mucoderm®) versus connective tissue graft, both associated with modified coronally advanced flap, in the treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions associated with non-carious cervical lesion partially (NCCL) restored by composite resin.
Evaluation of two dressing materials; a Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) dressing and a non-eugenol-based (Coe-Pak™) dressing in the management of free gingival graft and donor site palatal wound.
Patients with gingival recession, complain of excessive tooth length that affects their appearance during smiling or functioning. The main goal of plastic periodontal surgeries is to restore patient's esthetic demands with the regeneration of gingival and periodontal tissues. Although SCTG is considered a gold standard, it has its own limitations like patient morbidity and graft availability. Consequently, PRF has been introduced in an attempt to overcome the drawbacks of SCTG and achieve optimum results in root coverage. The minimally invasive VISTA technique allows better access with coronal positioning and stabilization of gingival margin to achieve complete root coverage. In addition to platelets-rich fibrin that gives a predictable and reproducible result in restoring the amount of keratinized tissue, root coverage and better esthetic outcome. The use Vestibular incision subperiosteal tunneling access (VISTA) with platelet-rich fibrin will be used to achieve complete root coverage.
The purpose of this study is to compare four different connective tissue graft harvesting technique in terms of graft quality and patient post-operative morbidity
The study will consist of a randomized controlled clinical study trial comparing the results of coronally positioned flap with AlloDerm GBR plus bovine derived xenograft versus coronally positioned tunnel with AlloDerm GBR plus bovine derived xenograft in approximately 30 patients (15 per group). All materials used in the study are FDA approved.
