ABSTRACT
Background:This case report describes treatment of multiple gingival recession with subgingival connective tissue graft and coronally advanced flap technique in treatment of maxillary teeth. Material And Methods:Connective tissue grafting wasdone in relation to upper right second premolar, first premolar, canine, right central incisor, left central incisor and left lateral incisor (#15,#14,#13,#11,#21,#22). A split thickness flap was elevated without disturbing periosteum in this region. The area between canine and second premolar was selected to harvest the graft. The graft was placed on the recipient bed and suturing was done. Result:Predictable root surface coverage could be obtained with use of coronally advanced flap and subepithelial connective tissue graft. Conclusion:Subepithelial connective tissue graft along with coronally advanced flap still stand as a gold standard treatment for gingival recession coverage.
ABSTRACT
Background: Diabetic foot is the commonest complication of Diabetes Mellitus. It is not totally curable or preventable but with positive approach mortality and morbidity due to diabetic foot can be reduced. Aim and objectives: To find out which type of treatment modality is better in terms of costeffectiveness and number of dressings in patients of diabetic foot, to salvage the limb in diabetic patient with help of various modalities of treatment available to our hospitals, to prevent the recurrence of such lesion by careful follow up, by educating the patient about foot care and prescribing pressure distributing footwear, and rehabilitation of patient once the ulcer has healed. Materials and methods: A total of 60 patients having diabetic foot were included. Clinical assessment was done of all patients after admitting them. History and clinical findings were written as per preformed proforma. All patients were sent to foot wear specialist. All this patients initially underwent debridement or removal of necrotic patch, according to the presenting feature. Depending on the condition of the ulcer (size or slough) they were dressed with newer techniques. Newer techniques used were Vac (Vacuum assisted closure) and Non-Vac (Hydrocolloid, Hydrogel, collagen, Platelet derived growth factor). Results: Majority of diabetic patients were having neuropathic and traumatic type of lesions. 30 patients were dressed with V ac (Vacuum assisted closure) and remaining 30 patients were dressed with Non-V ac. In which 5 patients were dressed with Hydrocolloid, 3 patients were dressed with Hydrogel, 12 patients were dressed with collagen and 10 patients were dressed with platelet derived growth factor. Comparison between V ac and Non-V ac types of dressing in terms of number of dressings, duration of stay, cost effectiveness is done by applying Z-Test. It was significant.

Page 80 Conclusion: Newer techniques for dressing- VAC or NON-VAC decreases the morbidity of the patient and also better in terms of cost-effectiveness and duration of stay as compared to conventional dressings.
