Gingival prosthesis: an efficient solution to severe gingival recessions in a...Premier Publishers
Clinical attachment loss in periodontal disease may lead to gingival recessions, elongation of the crowns, black triangles and unaesthetic appearance of maxillary anterior. For these problems surgical procedures may not have acceptable results in case of severe gingival recessions. Thus, non-surgical methods, like gingival prostheses/veneers, should be considered as an alternative treatment approach in such cases. It is an easy constructed and practical device to optimize the esthetic and functional outcome after the control of periodontal disease. This case report of young female patient illustrates treatment for an advanced tissue loss in a maxillary anterior area using a removable gingival prosthesis/veneers. This treatment modality offered a good optional solution and optimum esthetic patient satisfaction with a 2-year follow-up.
Gingival recession is the displacement of gingival tissue away from the tooth surface, exposing the root surface. It can be caused by periodontal disease, traumatic brushing, occlusal issues, or iatrogenic factors. Treatment depends on the severity and classification of the recession. For mild cases with no sensitivity or aesthetic concerns, improved brushing may suffice. More severe recession involving sensitivity or aesthetics may be treated with surgical root coverage procedures like laterally positioned pedicle grafts or coronally advanced flaps, which can achieve 65-98% root coverage depending on the technique and recession classification. The laterally positioned pedicle graft involves sliding keratinized gingiva from an adjacent tooth to cover the exposed root
Non surgical management of gingival recession- Dr Harshavardhan PatwalDr Harshavardhan Patwal
Treatment of gingival recession has become an important therapeutic issue due to the increasing number of cosmetic requests from patients. The dual goals of mucogingival treatment include complete root coverage, up to the cemento-enamel junction, and blending of tissue color between the treated area and non-treated adjacent tissues. Even though the connective tissue graft is commonly considered the “gold standard” for treatment of recession defects, it may not always be the best surgical option for every case. Dr Harshavardhan Patwal , Under non-experimental conditions, all root coverage procedures may be effective in terms of complete root coverage and excellent esthetics. Careful analyses of patient- and defect-related factors, however, are key considerations prior to selecting an appropriate surgical technique.
2017 classification of periodontal and periimplant diseasesDr. Bibina George
The document summarizes the key changes in the 2017 classification of periodontal and peri-implant diseases compared to the 1999 classification. The 2017 classification introduces staging and grading systems for periodontitis to indicate disease severity and risk of progression. It also includes classifications for peri-implant health, mucositis, and implantitis, as well as mucogingival deformities. The document reviews these changes and provides references for the revised classification system.
This study evaluated buccal soft tissue augmentation after periodontal plastic surgery using the modified coronally advanced tunnel technique and de-epithelialized gingival graft over a 1-year period via 3D quantitative analysis using intraoral scans. Patients received the procedure for Miller Class I or II gingival recessions and digital models were obtained at baseline and 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year post-op. Parameters measured digitally in the region of interest included gingival recession height/width, root exposure area, and gains in gingival height and area. The study aims to provide a precise quantitative evaluation method for assessing minor soft tissue changes following periodontal plastic surgery.
Treatment of gingival recession using coronally advanced flapShruti Maroo
This document describes a case study evaluating the efficacy of the coronally advanced flap technique for treating gingival recession. A 27-year old male patient presented with Miller's Class I gingival recession on teeth 22 and 23, along with sensitivity. The coronally advanced flap procedure was performed, involving incisions and elevation of a partial-thickness flap. One month and three months post-operatively, the patient showed uneventful healing and 100% root coverage, with reduction in sensitivity and no probing defects. The coronally advanced flap technique alone can successfully treat gingival recession when residual gingiva is thick and wide, resulting in good esthetic and functional outcomes.
This document presents a case report on rehabilitating a mandibular defect using a removable partial denture. It describes a patient who had a cyst removed from their mandible, which required extraction of several teeth. The case was classified as a Type I mandibular resection. Treatment involved preparing the remaining teeth, making impressions, and constructing a removable partial denture fitted with a semi-precision attachment to improve retention. The final prosthesis improved the patient's oral function and quality of life. Precise treatment planning and surgical-prosthetic coordination were emphasized for optimal rehabilitation of mandibular defects.

Endodontic Management of Unusual Case of Type II Dens Invaginatus – A Case Re...QUESTJOURNAL
This document describes a case report of endodontic treatment of an unusual type II dens invaginatus in a maxillary lateral incisor. CBCT imaging revealed an invagination extending into the root but confined as a blind sac. During root canal treatment, an operating microscope and ultrasonic instrumentation were used to remove the invaginated tissue and completely debride the complex anatomy. The canals were shaped, filled with gutta-percha and sealer, and the tooth was temporarily restored. The successful treatment required detailed diagnosis using CBCT along with specialized instrumentation and microscopy to navigate the unusual anatomy.
1. Gingival recession is the exposure of root surface caused by an apical shift in gingival position. It can be classified as visible, hidden, localized, or generalized.
2. Miller and Atkin & Sullivan classified gingival recession defects based on their location and amount of bone loss. Common causes of recession include age, faulty brushing technique, tooth malposition, gingival inflammation, abnormal frenal attachment, and masochistic habits.
3. Recession can be treated non-surgically through modifying risks or surgically through pedicle or free soft tissue grafts to cover exposed root surfaces and reduce sensitivity.
