Introduction: with the use of traditional root coverage plastic techniques, some loss over time of the results achieved has been observed.The combination of regenerative materials such as platelet rich fibrin membrane with these surgical procedures can achieve tissue restoration that guarantees greater stability. Patient information: the case of a 30 year old male patient with a history of health, carrier of bilateral periodontal recessions in lower premolars is presented.The coronal replacement flap technique was performed in the right hemiarch and the same procedure was combined with the platelet-rich fibrin membrane on the left. Conclusions: superiority was demonstrated in relation to the procedure combined with the biomaterial, in terms of the percentage of root coverage and the stability of the results over time.

For years, the relationship between the effects of cross bite treatment with conventional rapid palatal expansion (RPE) on the maxilla and adjacent craniofacial structures, as well as on palatine suture, has been studied. Due to the controversy over the effects of conventional rapid palatal expansion and the age at which they are effective due to the closure of the middle palatine suture, RPE anchored to mini screws have been proposed as a treatment alternative. It is not proven whether due to its mainly skeletal anchorage, the same effects are observed at the dentary and skeletal level as with conventional RPE whose anchorage is dental. The objective of this study is to know the effects that the MARPE technique produces on the craniofacial structures and the circummaxillary sutures. According to the PRISMA guidelines, a search was carried out in the electronic databases: Pubmed, Scopus, Virtual Health Library and Cochrane Library. 17 articles were analyzed: 6 prospective, 10 retrospective, and one systematic review. MARPE produces almost parallel medial palatal suture separation with stable separation of the pterygoid processes, zygomatic-maxillary and naso-maxillary sutures. MARPE achieves transverse maxillary to dentoalveolar and skeletal expansion in adolescents and young adults, minimizing the undesirable effects of rapid palatal expansion as gingival recessions or fenestrations.

Foundation: The analysis of the health situation at present shows an increase in periodontal recession, disease which is a significant oral health problem. Objective: to characterize periodontal recession in patients from the Rodas municipality, Cienfuegos province. Methods: a descriptive study was developed in Rodas, Cienfuegos province, from October 2016 to 2017. Twenty two patients with the diagnosis of periodontal recession, according to the variables age, sex, educational level, risk factors for periodontal recession, dental group affected and degree of recession (according to the Miller classification). The information was obtained from the individual clinical records of dentistry and of periodontics. Results: the age group 35 to 59 and female sex was the most affected. The most frequent risk factors were the presence of calculus or dento-bacterial plaque which is a sequel of chronic destructive periodontal disease and the lack of function of the implied teeth due missing teeth. The canine bicuspid dental group presented recession more frequently and class II prevailed. Conclusion: elements as educational level and the most important risk factors that affect this population are determinant to carry out actions against this disease from which other oral conditions may appear similarly pathological.

Background: Sometimes gingival retractions are associated with high muscular tensional forces and shallow vestibules. Such retractions cause periodontal problems to patients due to the cleaning access limitations. Edlan Mejchar vestibuloplasty technique allows controlling, in one intervention and a single surgical field, etiological factors and a creeping gingival attachment by eliminating tensional forces. Purpose: To describe the effectiveness of Edlan Mejchar technique to solve gum retractions caused by tensional forces in four clinical cases. Description of cases: Four patients with gingival retractions in lower incisors and little adhered gingiva due to lower lip frenulum tension seek dental treatment. Edlan Mejchar vestibuloplasty was the surgical treatment chosen, which consisted of supraperiosteal incisions and internal dissections in connective tissue. Results: The percentage of root coverage achieved was close to 60% and abnormal frenulum insertions were eliminated. Conclusion: Vestibuloplasty through Edlan Mejchar technique showed favorable results in the cases described in which the labial frenum exerted tensional forces on the periodontium of lower anterior teeth.

Introduction. The presence of inserted gingiva favors the maintenance of gingival health, but the presence of gingival recessions causes aesthetic problems or dental hypersensitivity. There are different surgical procedures that allow to achieve root coverage in multiple gingival recessions, for a long time the free gingival graft was used, however there are currently techniques that allow better aesthetic results, for example the coronal flap flap technique is a procedure that has the advantage of being able to be used for multiple recessions and with good aesthetic results. Clinical case. In this article we present two clinical cases, both male patients, at the interrogation they showed to have dental hypersensitivity being the reason for consultation, according to the periodontal examination multiple recessions gingival class I, II and III of Miller are observed, to carry out The radicular coverage was decided to apply the coronal displacement flap technique, since it allows us to perform it for several teeth in the same surgical procedure. Conclusions. In both patients, good aesthetic results were obtained in addition to considerably reducing dental hypersensitivity, this being the reason for consulting both. The degree of root coverage depended on the type of gingival recession according to the Miller classification, b eing more predictable in class I and II gingival recessions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The presence of gingival recession, and the relationship with dental hypersensitivity was evaluated. Material and methods: an investigation was carried out in 300 patients who came to the Specialized Dentistry Clinic from the University San Martin de Porres, during the months of March to June of 2011. The sample was conformed by 166 teeth (from 51 patients) that had gingival recession. Most patients who experienced gingival recession (66%) were women. Results: From the 300 patients examined, only 51 (17%) presented some type of gingival recession not associated with periodontal disease. An increased frequency of gingival recession was found in patients with ages between 35 and 50 years, also 58 teeth (equivalent to the 35% of them 166 teeth evaluated) presented some type of sensitivity (to the air or to the touch). Conclusions: The present research showed that there is a direct relationship between patients with gingival recession (not associated with periodontitis) and the presence of tooth sensitivity.

Background: The use of dental floss in public health programs is an economic problem due to its high cost. The raffia has been proposed an alternative material for interdental hygiene. Objective: Determine the effectiveness and patient preference of raffia used during two months as an alternative material for cleaning interproximal surfaces. Methods: This experimental double-blind study included 96 young individuals in the control group and 105 in the experimental group. The study examined the pre- and post-test Quigley-Hein modified dental plaque index, Löe & Silness gingival index, and the presence of grooves in the interproximal papilla and lip commissures. Data were written down in a soft tissue map-chart. Moreover, the Hannes et al. preference survey was applied. Results: A significant difference was observed between the average initial and final dental plaque indexes and gingival index in individuals who used raffia (p<0.05) and those in the control group who used dental floss (p<0.05). A greater proportion of subjects found raffia prone to tear, harmful for gums, thick, difficult to use in between the teeth, and uncomfortable to use. Conclusion: Raffia was effective in lowering the dental plaque index and gingival index scores. Regarding the users' preference of using raffia problems related to comfort use were reported.
