RESUMO
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.
RESUMO
Objective: To know the association between pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and multiparity. Study design: Case control study. Setting: Shree Sayaji General (SSG) Hospital, Government Medical College, Vadodara. Participants: Women attending Gynec Clinics and Curative Practice and General Practice (CPGP) OPD. Sample size: One hundred fifty cases and 150 controls. Statistical analysis: Chi-square test. Results: The odds ratio (OR) for PID with multiparity as risk factor was 0.69 with 95% confidence interval (CI) being 0.42-1.09. Among 143 cases multiparity was present in 63 cases (44.05), while in 150 controls it was in 80 (53.33%). The difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.141). But, the OR with untrained person as a risk factor for PID was 2.41 with 95% CI being 1.78-3.27. This suggests etiological fraction of 58.5% (CI 43.9-69.4%) among untrained persons. The delivery by untrained person was significantly higher in cases than in controls (p 0.00001). Conclusions: Present study did not show multiparity as risk factor but delivery conducted by untrained persons emerged as a risk factor.
