This case report described a modified bilaminar technique for treating a single gingival recession. Patient presented a gingival recession in a maxillary canine. Tooth was in a buccally prominent position and soft keratinized tissue apical to the recession was reduced but still present. A split-full-split thickness trapezoidal flap was designed. Ro...

Background
To compare the clinical outcomes of subepithelial connective tissue graft and chorion membrane along with coronally advanced flap in the treatment of gingival recession.
Methods
A total of 12 patients with 24 sites showing isolated bilateral Miller's class I and II gingival recessions were randomly allocated into two treatment sites. On...
Objectives
To assess the predictive value of baseline digitally measured exposure root surface area (ERSA) on the effectiveness of modified coronally advanced tunnel and de-epithelialized gingival grafting (MCAT + DGG) technique for the treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions (MAGRs).
Materials and methods
A total of 96 gingival recessi...
Background:
Prognosis in the management of Millers Class III or IV gingival recession is often fair to poor, which is further decreased by factors such as inadequate keratinized gingiva. Very few modalities show long-term success in the management of gingival recession with inadequate keratinized gingiva, free gingival graft (FGG) being one such t...
The laterally positioned flap (LPF) has been proposed as a promising treatment for isolated gingival recessions (GRs) in mandibular incisors. Several modifications have been proposed to reduce the risk of gingival recession (GR) at the donor tooth site. Therefore, the aim of this was to describe a modified one-stage procedure of performing the LPF...
Gingival recession occurs due to the migration of the gingiva in the apical direction, leading to compromising local aesthetics and root hypersensitivity. Connective tissue graft is the gold standard treatment in these cases improving both functional and aesthetics aspects.The purpose of this case is to report root coverage using the free connectiv...

... It accelerates revascularization and migration of fibroblasts at recipient bed. This enables it able to establish stable epithelium -connective tissue interface and making connective tissue more resistant to proteolytic enzymes [5,6]. In The present case report improved wound healing was observed at recipient site as well as in the donor site with no inflammation. ...
Suturing is considered to be an important part in periodontal surgery. One requires skills, it is time consuming, difficulty in maintaining plaque control and can often cause discomfort to the patient. Sometimes loosening of suture may also occur which can impair the wound healing of the tissue which can negatively impact the outcome of the surgery. To overcome this newer technique have been introduced one such is tissue adhesive called fibrin glue. Fibrin sealant can be prepared from the patient's own blood (autologous) or derived from donated blood which mimics the final stages of coagulation with better healing and good stability after flap closure by stimulating blood clotting mechanism. This case report shows the use of commercially available fibrin glue and its role in tissue adaptability and wound healing in the treatment of Miller's class II gingival recession of a single tooth.
