El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la prevalencia, extensión y severidad de la recesión gingival en una población de pacientes del Hospital Central de la Fuerza Aérea del Perú. Para este propósito se evaluó periodontalmente a 133 pacientes. Se midieron en todas las piezas presentes la distancia margen gingival – unión cemento esmalte en las caras vestibular y lingual, y se consideró como recesión gingival en aquellos dientes en que esta fuera mayor o igual a 1 mm. Los dientes que presentaron recesión gingival también fueron clasificados de acuerdo a la clasificación propuesta por Miller. Los resultados mostraron una prevalencia de 72,9% de pacientes afectados por algún grado de recesión gingival y se encontró un promedio de 5.79 + 0.555 dientes afectados por persona. De acuerdo a su longitud coronoapical, las recesiones gingivales fueron clasificadas como d...

We reporte a cros~bite clinic case involving the use of a rigid acrylic-bonded palatal expansion appliance. The proposed design modifications allow the expansion appliance to be used in patients of any dental age and overall in the cross bite correction in the early deciduous dentition. The treatment plan and objectives were to expand the maxilla, elimina te the functional shift and posterior and anterior crossbite correction.

The gingival recession treatment can be made surgical1y with a high predictability of success due to the great advance during the last ones of the mucogingival surgical techniques. The use of connective grafts in coverage of recessions has obtained high rates of success reason why these procedures are common within the modern periodontal surgical practice. Knowing that all patients do not accept the surgical treatment, many investigators have come studying the possibility of treating non-surgically the gingival recession by means of scale and root planing, polish and maintenance therapy showing promising results.

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 ...
