Dental Management of Factor XIII Deficiency Patients: A Case Series.

Aim: To create awareness about rare clotting disorders in children and to highlight the different dental treatment approaches that can be used while planning the management in such cases.

Background: A prerequisite for successful wound healing is achieving good hemostasis by effective vascular spasm, platelet plug formation, and finally blood coagulation. In the general population, postoperative bleeding after dental treatment is self-limiting.

Buccally displaced flap versus sub-epithelial connective tissue graft for peri-implant soft tissue augmentation: a pilot double-blind randomized controlled trial.

Background: This article describes a novel surgical technique, the buccally displaced flap, for keratinized mucosa (KM) augmentation during implant uncovering. Furthermore, it clinically compares this technique with sub-epithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) for peri-implant KM augmentation. Twelve weeks following implant placement, subjects were randomly divided for KM augmentation into group A (buccally displaced flap) and group B (SCTG).
