The Effect of the Interproximal Creeping Attachment in Aesthetic Site After Root Coverage Surgery with VISTA Technique ? A Case Report

Gingival recession is a common manifestation in most populations. The mechanism by which gingival recession occurs is not well understood, but it seems to be complex and multifactorial. The main etiological factors are the accumulation of dental plaque biofilm with the resulting inflammatory periodontal diseases and mechanical trauma due to faulty oral hygiene techniques, especially in thin biotypes. This case report describes the treatment of a vestibular recession associated with interdental bone loss, with the VISTA technique associated with a connective tissue graft. The case was evaluated at 3, 9 months and 48 months after the surgery clinically complete root coverage and increased thickness of keratinized tissue were achieved, and the interdental papilla was augmented improving the soft tissue quality for future orthodontic treatment. VISTA technique associated with a connective tissue graft to reconstruct vertically papilla is a promising alternative for minimally invasive treatment and stable after 4 years.

Atividade analgésica do extrato da Pectis jangadensis (S. Moore) / Preliminary evaluation of Pectis jangadensis (S. Moore) analgesic activity

A planta Pectis jangadensis, popularmente conhecida como "roxinha", "erva do carregador" ou "coentro da chapada" é utilizada em chás pela população matogrossense, como calmante. Não há estudo na literatura sobre qualquer atividade farmacológica dessa planta. Nosso objetivo foi avaliar atividade analgésica de seu extrato hidro-alcoólico nas doses de 100, 500 e 1000 mg/kg pelos métodos de Contorções induzidas pelo ácido acético e teste da formalina. Os nossos resultados demonstram que não houve diferença significativa entre o grupo controle e os grupos tratados com diferentes doses do extrato tanto em relação ao número de contorções induzidas pelo ácido acético quanto ao tempo de lambedura da pata, na fase 1 e 2, induzida pela formalina. Portanto, pelo menos, por via oral, parece que o extrato hidro-alcoólico da Pectis jangadensis não apresenta atividade analgésica.

"Preliminary evaluation of Pectis jangadensis (S. Moore) analgesic activity's". The plant Pectis jangadensis, popularly known as "roxinha", "erva do carregador" or "coentro da chapada" is used in teas by the matogrossense's people, as a calmative. There isn't any study in the literature about its pharmacologic activity. Our object was to evaluate its extract hidroalcoolic analgesic activity in doses of 100, 500 and 1000 mg/kg by the methods of abdominal writhing induced by acetic acid and the Formalin test. The results show that there wasn't significant difference between the control groups and the groups treated with different doses of the extract in both testes. Therefore, at least by oral, seems that the Pectis jangadensis' hidroalcoolic extract doesn't have analgesic activity.
