Article Abstract
This case series reports a modified tunnel technique with connective tissue graft for the root coverage of multiple Miller Class I, II, and III gingival recessions. The modified approach presents an innovative suture technique to improve the stability and position of the graft. Ten patients with multiple gingival recessions (n=85 teeth) received surgical root coverage treatment. The gingival recession height and width were measured and presented as median, minimum, and maximum values. The percentage of the root coverage after at least 12 months expressed the treatment effectiveness. The Shapiro-Wilk test evaluated the normality; pared Wilcoxon test determined the exact P-value for the differences in the height of the gingival recession before and after surgical treatment (α = 0.05). An average of 97.9% (± 5.6%, p < 0.0001) root coverage after treatment occurred, and 73 out of 85 recessions presented complete root coverage after 12 months. Treatment of Miller class I and II gingival recessions resulted in root coverage higher than 99 and class III higher than 95% (p < 0.0001). The presented case series report the efficacy of a modified surgical technique promoting more than 95% of root coverage after 12 months in multiple Miller Class I, II, and III gingival recessions. Well-designed blind randomized controlled trials are needed to validate the proposed technique.

Understanding recurrent injuries in the deciduous dentition and possible associated factors could help in the control and prevention of such episodes in children. The aim of the present study was to investigate the frequency of recurrent injuries in the deciduous dentition and associated factors. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted involving 517 children aged between six months and six years treated at the Clinic for Traumatic Dental Injuries in the Deciduous Dentition of the School of Dentistry of the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of the full-thickness palatal graft technique (FTPGT) and the coronally advanced flap with subepithelial connective tissue graft (CAF + SCTG) in achieving complete root coverage (CRC) in single gingival recessions (GR).
Methods: Forty healthy patients with a single RT1 GR were randomized into two groups: 20 treated with CAF + SCTG and 20 with FTPGT. Baseline and 12-month measurements of GR, keratinized tissue width (KTW), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and gingival thickness (GT) were recorded.

Background Atherosclerosis involves inflammatory and thrombotic mechanisms, to which platelets, CD4+ T effector cells, and transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) all contribute importantly. Platelets are the principal source of circulating TGFβ, which profoundly regulates CD4+ T effector cell responses. The impact of platelet-derived TGFβ on atherosclerosis is, however, unknown.

The primary outcome measure was the percentage of root coverage. Secondary outcomes included recession height (RH), recession width (RW), width of keratinized tissue (WKT), probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL).

Objective: To conduct a comparative analysis of the aesthetic results of treatment of patients with gingival recession of RD class I and II according to Miller using collagen matrices and connective tissue transplant (CTT).
Material And Methods: The study included 25 patients with grade I and II RD in the area of 107 teeth on the upper and lower jaws. The patients were divided into 4 groups: Mucoderm (=28), Fibro-Gide (=22), FibroMATRIX (=23) and CTT as controls (=34).
