This case report described a modified bilaminar technique for treating a single gingival recession. Patient presented a gingival\nrecession in a maxillary canine. Tooth was in a buccally prominent position and soft keratinized tissue apical to the recession\nwas reduced but still present. A split-full-split thickness trapezoidal flap was designed. Rootâ??s surface was prepared with curettes.\nEpithelial-connective tissue graft was harvested from the palate with reduced dimension. After deepithelialization, the graft was\nplaced with a fibrin-fibronectin system at the maximum root coverage level, and the flap coronally advanced and sutured. At 3-\nyear follow-up control, the free gingival margin was still stable at the postsurgery position, with a thicker biotype corresponding\nto the grafted area, with no probing and a suitable aesthetic result....
The aim was to evaluate ridge reduction and mucosal recession following immediate\nplacement of ultra-wide implants in molar sockets, without bone grafting. Impressions were taken\nprior to tooth extraction, 4 months and 1 year after implant placement. The casts were digitized and\ncompared. Mucosal recessions and horizontal ridge reduction were measured. A total of 16 implants\nwere in the maxilla and 11 in the mandible. At the buccal aspect, there was a mean reduction\nof 0.94 mm after 4 months and 0.89 mm after one year.....................
The diagnosis of cancer and its treatment have an incomparable impact on a patientâ??s life.\nIn the early postoperative stages after the surgical treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC),\nfunctions and well-being are limited, which leads to a fundamental decline of the quality of life (QoL).\nTo date, no studies have been performed that focus on the development of special aspects during the\ntime of the in-patient stay of OSCC patients. With the results of this cross-sectional study, we are able\nto identify those patients who tend to require special support.......
The point-based surface registration method involves the manual selection process of paired matching points on the data of\ncomputed tomography and optical scan. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of selection error and\ndistribution of fiducial points on the accuracy of image matching between 3-dimensional (3D) images in dental planning\nsoftware programs. Computed tomography and optical scan images of a partial edentulous dental arch were obtained. Image\nregistration of the optical scan image to computed tomography was performed using the point-based surface registration\nmethod in planning software programs under different conditions of 3 fiducial points: point selection error (0, 1, or 2 mm),\npoint distribution................................
A method is proposed using a silicone tube to allow the restoration of incongruous\nprostheses due to the retention of removable prostheses anchored to implants by ball-attachment,\nalso in medical facilities Health Care Residence (RSA) where the equipment characteristic of dental\nclinics is lacking. One hundred and thirty-seven patients belonging to the Health Care Residence\nof the Monza and Brianza area were analyzed............................
