Furcation involvement classification: a comprehensive review and a new system proposal

Various classification systems have been proposed to describe furcation lesions and Glickman's classification for many years seems to have been the most widely utilized in the sole clinical diagnosis with no reference to the prognostic value of the lesion itself.

Bone dehiscences and fenestrations of the anterior mandibular facial bone wall: a retrospective cone beam computed tomography study

BACKGROUND: To calculate the prevalence of dehiscences and fenestrations and measure the buccal alveolar bone width overlying healthy mandibular incisors and canines. METHODS: Cone beam computerized tomographies (CBCTs) from patients aged 18 to 30 years were selected from a private database. The thickness of buccal bone in the sagittal scan was measured perpendicular to the long axis of 6 teeth at two locations: at the crest level and at the mid-root level. A single calibrated examiner performed all measurements. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed.

Effectiveness of adjunctive hyaluronic acid application in coronally advanced flap in Miller class I single gingival recession sites: a randomized controlled clinical trial

Abstract OBJECTIVES: The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the possible advantages of adjunctive hyaluronic acid (HA) application in the coronally advanced flap (CAF) procedure in single Miller class I/recession type 1 (RT1) gingival recession treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty patients with one recession were enrolled; 15 were randomly assigned CAF + HA and 15 to CAF alone.

Coronally advanced flap and composite restoration of the enamel with or without connective tissue graft for the treatment of single maxillary gingival recession with non-carious cervical lesion. A randomized controlled clinical trial

Background: Aim of this study was to compare coronally advanced flap (CAF) and composite restoration of the cement–enamel junction (CEJ) with or without connective tissue graft (CTG) for treatment of single maxillary gingival recession with non-carious cervical lesion (NCCL). Material and Methods: Thirty patients with single gingival recessions and previously restored NCCL were randomly allocated to the two groups.
