Treatment of single gingival recessions using biofunctionalized collagen matrix: A case series.

Background: Connective tissue graft substitutes have been used widely to overcome autogenous graft limitations. Nevertheless, they do not provide comparable results in the treatment of periodontal and peri-implant soft tissue defects. Based on the principles of tissue-engineered materials, injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) has been combined with collagen matrices (CMs) to enhance their clinical efficacy.

Microbiological evaluation in invisible aligner chemical cleaning methods against Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of chemical agents in removing Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans biofilm from invisible aligners.

Methods: The samples were made of EX30 Invisalign trays, biofilm was cultured by standardized suspensions of C. albicans ATCC strain and S.

New Volume-Stable Collagen Matrix and Modified Coronally Advanced Flap to Treat Multiple Gingival Recessions Associated With Partially Restored Non-Carious Cervical Lesions: A Case Report.

Introduction: Gingival recession (GR) is a prevalent problem that is related to esthetic demands and dentin hypersensitivity. Frequently, GR is associated with non-carious cervical lesion (NCCLs) forming a combined defect (CD), which requires restorative and surgical treatment. Connective tissue graft procedures allow predictable root coverage but can result in patient discomfort.
