To evaluate the possible benefit on wound healing and flap stability of periosteum inclusion, comparing a "split-full-split" thickness flap elevation versus a "split" thickness approach performed during CAF for the treatment of isolated-type gingival recessions in the upper jaw.
To evaluate the possible benefit on wound healing and flap stability of periosteum inclusion, comparing a "split-full-split" thickness flap elevation versus a "split" thickness approach performed during CAF for the treatment of isolated-type gingival recessions in the upper jaw.
A total of 24 healthy patients (21 women and 3 men, mean age 25.75 ± 7.12 years) exhibiting one single deep mandibular Miller Class I (n = 4), II (n = 10), or III (n = 10) gingival recession ≥ 4 mm were consecutively treated with LCT in conjunction with an enamel matrix derivative (EMD) and palatal subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG).
Clinical assignment results showed values of probing depth, gingival recession and attachment loss were improved in SFRP2-SCAP group than that of SCAP group and saline group.
Conclusion This study suggests that subgingivally placed NCR, RMGI and giomer restorations can show similar effects on periodontopathogenic bacteria in the treatment of gingival recessions that are associated with noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs).
Within the limits of this study it is concluded that (1) periodontal health can be maintained with proper preventive maintenance irrespective of the genotype present, (2) the mean response to mucogingival surgery to cover localized gingival recessions is similar irrespective of the IL-1 periodontal genotype, however, full coverage is achieved more frequently in genotype negative subjects.
