El uso actual en diversos países de programas de computadoras en Ortodoncia y la introducción de los modelos de estudio digitalizados han cambiado la forma tradicional de realizar las mediciones de los mismos, además de eliminar las desventajas que representa el método de medición manual. El empleo de un nuevo método de medición permitiría el desarrollo de un software como una herramienta auxiliar para la obtención de forma automática de un gran número de medidas para los índices ortodónticos tanto en dentición mixta como permanente; a partir de una correcta digitalización y calibrado previo sobre la imagen digitalizada para asegurar la exactitud de la medición. Este estudio pretende comparar un nuevo método de medición digital en 2 dimensiones (2D) mediante el empleo de un Software desarrollado por el investigador para su uso en el análisis de Bolton, y utilizado como...

Gingival recession is defined as the displacement of the gingival margin apical to the Cementoenamel junction in one or more teeth. This mucogingival deformity can cause root hypersensitivity, poor esthetic appearance and cervical root caries. There are two main groups that can result in gingival recession, those derived from periodontal disease and those from traumatic origin. There are too some factors which are classified as predisposing and precipitant factors. Pathologically, gingival recessions derive from destruction of gingival connective tissue that reduces blood supply. Many procedures for surgical root coverage have been developed since introduction of laterally positioned pedicle flap, these include pedicle flaps, epithelialized free gingival grafts, connective tissue graft and guided tissue regeneration. The purpose of this article is to describe the clinical parameters and ...
