Clinical evaluation of periosteal pedicle flap in the treatment of gingival recessions for esthetic root coverage: A randomized controlled clinical trial.
J Indian Soc Periodontol

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of periosteal pedicle graft (PPG) as an alternative to subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) for root coverage in dental procedures, highlighting the drawbacks of SCTG, such as the need for a second surgery and potential complications.
- - A total of 52 gingival recessions were randomly assigned to either the SCTG or PPG groups, with measurements taken at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months post-surgery to assess improvements in recession depth and clinical attachment level.
- - Results showed both techniques offered significant root coverage with similar outcomes, but PPG provided better patient comfort and eliminated the need for a second surgical site, making it a viable
Periodontal status of mandibular second molar after extraction of impacted mandibular third molars- a prospective clinical trial.
Eur Oral Res
September 2022
Purpose: Mandibular third molar (M3) extraction is the common surgical procedures carried out; however, one of the complications is development of periodontal disease in adjacent second molars (M2). Hence the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of extraction of M3 on the periodontal status of M2.
Materials And Methods: Study included 120 sites with mandibular M2 adjacent to the impacted M3.
Effectiveness of naturally derived bovine hydroxyapatite (Cerabone™) combined with platelet-rich fibrin matrix in socket preservation: A randomized controlled clinical trial.
J Indian Soc Periodontol
January 2019
Background And Objectives: Socket preservation is the procedure which is carried out at the time of extraction to enhance the esthetic predictability of prosthesis and to reduce the number of surgical interventions by minimizing the crestal bone loss. The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of natural bovine hydroxyapatite and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) matrix along with collagen plug to unassisted natural healing in extraction sites.
Materials And Methods: A sample of 25 patients of age 17-50 years who require extraction of at least two teeth which were not adjacent to each other were included in the study.
