Article Synopsis
- Traditional plastic surgery methods for treating gum recession can be invasive and painful, prompting the development of a new, minimally invasive technique called the "root and cervical margin flattening procedure."
- This method involves making a gentle incision in the gum tissue, allowing for a flattened and smoother area around the dental roots and increasing the space for healing.
- Initial results show promise for treating gum issues without the need for traditional grafts, but further clinical studies are necessary to fully evaluate its effectiveness and long-term outcomes.

Objectives: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a biophysical intervention in a bone repair process. However, neither the healing events of the flat bones of the skull using LIPUS nor the optimal stimulation settings are fully understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone regenerative effect of LIPUS in rat calvarial flat bone defects by using in vivo microfocus computerized tomography (micro-CT).
