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.

There’s growing agreement that endodontic infections can lead to periodontal issues, especially when abscess pressures create sinus tracts into the periodontal ligament. However, periodontal diseases rarely cause pulpal necrosis unless the…

Endodontic-periodontal lesions can mimic one another, making accurate diagnosis crucial for effective treatment. Discovering the different ways the root canal system and periodontium communicate — through lateral canals, dentinal tubules,…

This case study showcases the comprehensive crown lengthening treatment of a 52-year-old patient requiring full-mouth rehabilitation due to severe dental erosion and wear. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and precise surgical…

Surgical treatment strategies for aesthetic crown lengthening depend on gingival thickness and crestal bone position. Understanding the variations between cases, such as the need for osseous reduction or flap repositioning, is crucial for…

Crown lengthening is crucial for addressing issues including caries, fractures, and altered passive eruption, ultimately enhancing both function and esthetics in restorative dentistry. By carefully planning and modeling restorative…

Crown lengthening is essential for creating a stable biological foundation in restorative dentistry, ensuring long-term success. By understanding the significance of diagnosing altered passive eruption (APE) and applying an…
