Both procedures provided similar soft tissue coverage after 6 months. Despite the fact that a greater reduction in DS was observed after CAF+R, longitudinal observations are necessary to confirm these results.

This report indicates that teeth with Miller Class I gingival recessions associated with non-carious cervical lesions can be successfully treated by an integrated periodontal and restorative dentistry approach; however, longitudinal randomized controlled clinical trials must be performed to support this approach.

The PDL cells in association with GTR may significantly promote periodontal regeneration in class III furcation defects surgically created in dogs.

Within the limits of this study, the combination of PRP with SCTG was more effective in promoting new cementum formation than the graft alone.

Periosteal and bone marrow cells presented a similar potential for bone reconstruction. As such, periosteum may be considered as an alternative source of osteogenic cells in implant dentistry.

The aim of this study was to evaluate, clinically and histometrically, the effects of subgingival placement of a resin-modified glass-ionomer restoration during flap surgery. Nine dogs were included in this study. The mandibular canines were randomly assigned to receive either a transgingival resin-modified glass-ionomer restoration (test group) or no restoration (control group). The apical margins of the restorations in the test group and a reference notch on those in the control group were placed at the level of the bone crest. Clinical parameters were recorded 7 days before sacrifice. The dogs were sacrificed after 107 days, and undecalcified sections were obtained for histologic evaluation. Clinically, both groups presented significant clinical attachment loss and an increase in probing depth, but differences between groups were not statistically significant (P > .05). Histologically, a significant difference between groups was observed for length of epithelium (test, 4.05 ± 0.57 mm; control, 3.36 ± 0.63 mm; P = .01). The test group showed more bone resorption (2.02 ± 1.47 mm) when compared with the control group (0.74 ± 0.37 mm) (P = .048). It can be concluded that even with the claimed favorable properties of resin-modified glass ionomer, the presence of the restoration within the biologic width causes increased migration of the apical epithelium and bone resorption.
