Ternion Approach of Surgical Coverage in Single Tooth Recession: A Case Report on a Novel Technique.

The goal of mucogingival surgery or periodontal plastic surgery is to preserve gingiva, remove aberrant frenum or muscle attachments, increase vestibular depth, and correct the denuded root surface. Recession coverage is indeed a challenging technique, whereas covering the exposed roots is not only important for aesthetic reasons but also for preventing further issues such as tooth sensitivity, root decay, and loss of supporting bone. A coronally advanced flap (CAF) is one of the most common procedures done for recession coverage because of the concept that the coronal advancement of a flap without tension to cover the exposed root surface or CAF with autogenous grafts results in bulk and improves the thickness of the gingival tissue, increasing the stability and aesthetics of the result.

Frenectomy Managed by a Bilateral Pedicle Flap: A Case Report.

In the oral cavity, the frenum is an anatomical structure composed of mucosal folds that connect the lip and cheek to the alveolar mucosa, gingiva, and underlying periosteum. An abnormally positioned maxillary labial frenum can contribute to the formation of a diastema and gingival recession. Various techniques have been proposed for the correction of aberrant frenal attachments, including frenectomy and frenal repositioning procedures.

The next frontier in multiple sclerosis therapies: Current advances and evolving targets.

Recent advancements in research have significantly enhanced our comprehension of the intricate immune components that contribute to multiple sclerosis (MS) pathogenesis. By conducting an in-depth analysis of complex molecular interactions involved in the immunological cascade of the disease, researchers have successfully identified novel therapeutic targets, leading to the development of innovative therapies. Leveraging pioneering technologies in proteomics, genomics, and the assessment of environmental factors has expedited our understanding of the vulnerability and impact of these factors on the progression of MS.

Precision medicine advances in cystic fibrosis: Exploring genetic pathways for targeted therapies.

Personalized medicine has transformed the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF), providing customized therapeutic approaches based on individual genetic profiles. This review explores the genetic foundations of CF, focusing on mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene and their implications for the development of the disease. The advent of genetic testing has enabled the association of specific mutations to disease severity, leading to the development of CFTR modulators like Ivacaftor, Lumacaftor, and Tezacaftor.

Reference-based genome assembly and comparative genomics of Calamus Brandisii Becc. for unveiling sex-specific genes for early gender detection.

Calamus brandisii Becc. is an endangered rattan species indigenous to the Western Ghats of India and used in the furniture and handicraft industries. However, its dioecious nature and longer flowering time pose challenges for conservation efforts.
