While CBCT is widely used in implant planning and guided implant therapy, its potential remains underutilized. CBCT offers unparalleled accuracy in detecting bony defects and enhancing digital workflows, yet its routine use in periodontal…

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) delivers unparalleled imaging for dental implant planning and periodontal care. Discover how this cutting-edge technology balances diagnostic value with radiation safety to set new standards in dental…

An older adult with severe interdental attachment loss and gingival recession underwent a procedure to increase the zone of attached gingiva. The treatment not only improved vestibular depth and soft tissue phenotype but also alleviated…

A novel procedure utilizing xenogeneic collagen matrix offers a palate-free alternative for managing mucogingival defects. This innovative approach enhances gingival health, vestibular depth, and patient comfort while avoiding the need for…

This case report showcases the successful use of acellular dermal matrix with a subperiosteal tunneling technique to treat generalized gingival recession and enhance gingival phenotype in a patient with a thin biotype. The procedure…

Nonautogenous soft tissue grafts are transforming mucogingival treatments with their minimally invasive, palate-free approach. Offering reduced morbidity, shorter chairtime, and comparable clinical outcomes, these alternatives are reshaping…

Gingival recession and insufficient attached gingiva are significant mucogingival challenges that can compromise oral health and esthetics. Evolving from traditional approaches, modern techniques offer predictable outcomes for tissue…

Gingival recession, affecting over half of adults, leads to hypersensitivity, poor esthetics, and increased risk of decay. Recognizing factors like lack of attached gingiva and biologic width violations can help prevent tissue breakdown and…

Endodontic-periodontal lesions can be complex to diagnose due to overlapping symptoms. Identifying the primary cause — whether endodontic, periodontal, or a combined origin — is essential for selecting the appropriate therapy and ensuring…

Endodontic-periodontal lesions can be difficult to diagnose due to overlapping symptoms. Understanding the classification and primary etiology of these lesions is key to selecting the right treatment and achieving optimal patient outcomes.
