Objectives: To evaluate the correlation between smile type (ST) and the periodontal phenotype (PP).
Material And Methods: Clinical and photographic examinations of 164 participants (48 men and 116 women, mean age 22.9 ± 4.
Objective: This systematic review evaluated survival rates, marginal bone loss (MBL), and complications of using 2 to 4 implants to support full-arch fixed prostheses in the mandible.
Materials And Methods: An electronic search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify relevant articles published until March 2015. Articles were critically reviewed to determine the level of quality.
Background: The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membranes on the outcomes of clinical treatments in patients with gingival recession.
Methods: Articles that were published before June 2015 were searched electronically in four databases without any date or language restrictions and searched manually in regular journals and unpublished studies. The eligibility criteria comprised randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and prospective controlled trials with follow-up periods of ≥ 6 months that compared the performance of PRF to other biomaterials in the treatment of Miller Class I or II gingival recessions.
