A modified tunnel technique to treat multiple gingival recessions: Case Series.

This case series reports a modified tunnel technique with connective tissue graft for the root coverage of multiple Miller Class I, II, and III gingival recessions. The modified approach presents an innovative suture technique to improve the stability and position of the graft. Ten patients with multiple gingival recessions (n=85 teeth) received surgical root coverage treatment.

Histomorphometric analysis of hydroxyapatite-coated implants in rabbit cortical bone using longitudinal and transverse histologic sections.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the osseointegration percentage of biomimetic hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated implants on longitudinal and transverse histologic sections using scanning electron microscopy.

Materials And Methods: Ten commercially pure titanium dental implants, measuring 3.75 mm in diameter and 10 mm in length, were coated with HA by the biomimetic process and installed on the proximal metaphysis of the right tibia of 10 adult New Zealand female rabbits (Oryctolagus cunniculus).
