Abstract

The main indication for ischolar_main coverage procedures is esthetic or cosmetic demand by the patient. Root coverage procedures mainly include use of pedicle soft tissue grafts or free autogenous grafts. Recently acellular dermal matrix allograft has been introduced as a substitute for donor tissue in gingival augmentation procedures.

Keywords

Allograft, Alloderm, Gingival Recession.

Abstract

Aggressive periodontitis, which encompasses a number of clinical entities, probably results from the mobilization of tissue's destructive mechanisms which are common to most forms of periodontal diseases. The unique attributes of the disease process are due to the virulence of the pathogens and the host susceptibility may be due to the heritable or acquired susceptibility factors, which permit expression of periodontitis at a relatively younger age.

Keywords

Abstract

Periodontal disease may be regarded as a range of different diseases for which certain individuals are at relatively high risk. Epidemiological and molecular studies of the oral microbial flora suggest, that although microbial factors are required for periodontal disease, they alone do not predict the presence or severity of periodontitis. So in high-risk patient groups, host factors appear to play an important role in susceptibility to periodontitis. In recent years elements of host susceptibility, such as immune response and systemic disease state, and other non-microbial environmental factors, such as smoking, have been shown to be important contributors to the disease expression. Thus, periodontitis represents a lifelong account of interactions between our genome, our behavior, and our environment.

Abstract

In order for periodontal regeneration to occur, progenitor cells must migrate to the denuded ischolar_main surface, attach to it, proliferate and mature into an organized and functional fibrous attachment apparatus. Significant advances have been made during the last decade in understanding the factors controlling the migration, attachment and proliferation of cells. A group of naturally occurring molecules known as polypeptide growth factors in conjunction with certain matrix proteins, are key regulators of these biological events. Of these, the fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) appear to have an important role in periodontal wound healing. The purpose of this review is to summarize current information on these growth factors with emphasis on their potential implications in periodontal wound healing and regeneration.

Keywords

Regeneration, Wound Healing, Fibroblast Growth Factor.

Abstract

Diseases of the periodontium occurs in the childhood, adolescence and early adulthood, but the prevalence of periodontal diseases and tissue destruction increases with age. The increase may be caused by the cumulative effect of the number of bursts of periodontal destruction, deterioration in plaque removal efficiency, or an increase in (he number of teeth retained in old age and therefore affected by plaque-induced disease. But with appropriate periodontal therapy and self-performed plaque control, older patients can be expected to have as favorable treatment outcomes as young patients.
