RESUMEN
Comamonas testosteroni newly emerging microorganism previously known as Pseudomonas testosteroni is common environmental bacterium that is not known to be a part of the human commensal organism. Since its identification as a human pathogen in 1987, numerous reports have drizzled in, implicating this organism for various infections. Comamonas testosteroni are rare isolates in microbiology laboratories and have been infrequently reported as an infectious agent in routine clinical practice. Comamonas testosteroni has been rarely observed as an infectious agent in clinical practice. Comamonas testosteroni is rarely recognized as a human pathogen. Most of the reported cases are bloodstream infections. We report this pathogen from the stool of an immunocompromised 48-year-old male. The aim of this case report is to alert clinicians and laboratory physicians for the potential diagnosis and clinical approach of gastrointestinal infections caused by this organism.
RESUMEN
The use of root coverage procedures to treat gingival recession defects, a common periodontal condition, is an important aspect of periodontal regenerative therapy. The synergistic relationship between vascular configuration and involved tissues is the most important factor in soft tissue graft success. The present case reports the clinical effectiveness of Gingival Unit Graft (GUG) for the management of Miller's class III gingival recession.Clinical parameters like Probing depth, recession depth, keratinized tissue width and clinical attachment level were measured at baseline and postoperative 6 months. Percentage of defect coverage was evaluated at postoperative 6 months. Healing was uneventful and 3mm root coverage was observed with 1mm residual recession and increase in keratinized gingiva after 6 months follow up. Free soft tissue autografts such as gingival unit transfers can be used along with bio-adhesives such as cyanoacrylates for predictable results in the management of recession defects.
