Gingival Recession Treatment with the Use of Xenogeneic Matrix: Optimization of Patient-Centered Outcomes by the Digital Soft Tissue Design

Spontaneous Recession Repair after Orthodontic Treatment: Case Report with the Use of Digital Approach for Quantification of Soft Tissue Changes

“…Parameter of recession depth (RecDep) defined as the distance between cementoenamel junction level and the position of free gingival margin in the projection of recession was measured both clinically and with the use of obtained intraoral scans. Clinical assessment of recession depth (RecDepClin) has been accomplished with the use of the North Carolina periodontal probe in millimeters (mm), while digital evaluation of recession depth (RecDepDig) was performed in 3Shape adapted software 3Shape Clear Aligners Studio (3Shape, Kyiv, Ukraine) [ 13 ]. The difference in clinical recession depth before and by the end of treatment (∆RecDepClin) has been calculated as the mathematical difference of RecDepClin parameter before and by the end of treatment, while the difference in digital recession depth before and by the end of treatment (∆RecDepDig) was measured after automatic intraoral scans superimposition within 3Shape adapted software using “Cross section” and “Measuring” instruments.…”

“…The parameter of mean root coverage deficiency (MRCD) was estimated based on the received digital scans by the end of orthodontic treatment as a difference between potential full soft tissue coverage to cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) level as a reference line and resulted soft tissue coverage of the root surface in the area of recession, represented in percentage (%) [ 13 ].…”

“…Various parameters were proposed to quantify the recession characteristics following orthodontic and periodontal procedures [ 11 – 13 ]. Clinical crown height and gingival margin-papillae measurements were evidenced to be reliable quantitative references for recession changes assessment in clinical practice and for the research purposes [ 11 ].…”

“…Clinical crown height and gingival margin-papillae measurements were evidenced to be reliable quantitative references for recession changes assessment in clinical practice and for the research purposes [ 11 ]. Even though clinical measurements of recession parameters help to evaluate not only recession depth and width, but also their correspondence to potential clinical attachment loss, thickness of gingiva, and depth of the periodontal probing, it is quite a time-consuming procedure, which requires sufficient clinical experience and calibration to obtain reliable and reproductive results [ 11 – 13 ].…”

Outcomes of Using Xenogeneic Materials for Gingival Recession Treatment: Analysis of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analytical Studies’ Data

“…Сучасні тенденції стоматологічного лікування асоційовані із вищим рівнем пацієнт-орієнтованості втручань та мінімізацією обсягу ятрогенної травми без компрометації майбутнього прогнозу реабілітації [1; 2]. У пародонтологічній практиці реалізація даних принципів забезпечується шляхом оптимізації класичних оперативних маніпуляцій через модифікацію технік виконання розрізів, формування клаптів та застосування різних видів трансплантатів [1][2][3][4][5].…”
