ABSTRACT
Background:Gingival recession is the one of the widespread mucogingival deformity and should be treated at its most primitive recognition. Exposed root surfaces are more likely to develop root sensitivity, root caries, cervical abrasions and post esthetic problems. Amid innumerable procedures, laterally positioned pedicle graft (LPG) is extensively used efficaciously to conceal recession defects. The main advantages of thelaterally positioned pedicle graft is, it produces excellent esthetic results as it has good vascularity of the flap and ability to cover the denuded surfaces. Thus,the present case report describes the use of lateral pedicle graft technique in an isolated gingival recession on mandibular incisor.
ABSTRACT
Background:Traditional complete dentures were the most common treatment option for patients with edentulous arches. However, the initiation of implant-supported overdentures has substitutedorthodox dentures as animproved standard for restoration. Careful case selection is important criteria for improving success rate of implant supported over denture. Lower arch implant-supported overdentures have a better success percentage than upper arch implant-supported overdentures. Upper arch implant-supported overdentures are simulating a form of “salvage treatment,” rather than being the primary modality of treatment for patients with completely edentulous upper arch.
ABSTRACT
Gingival Recession is a common, complex, and unpleasant clinical condition. It is more commonly associated with root hypersensitivity, impaired esthetics and root caries. Successful treatment outcome becomes challenging in such cases. Coronally advanced flap for rootcoverage is most commonly used technique. Combination of biological membranes derived from human body itself along with coronally advanced flap yields better results. This case report describe s a case of bilateral Class I gingival recession treated with amniotic membrane on one sideand PRF membrane along with Coronally advanced flap on other side.
