Objectives: This narrative review aims to outline the concepts on the significance of the width of attached gingiva around teeth and implants to enable the clinician to decide on the need for gingival augmentation in different clinical scenarios.
Data And Sources: An electronic search was done on PUBMED & Cochrane Database using the keywords from 1972 to November 2009. A manual hand search was also done in Journal of Periodontology and Journals of Clinical Periodontology for relevant articles under this topic. Any relevant paper from the references was hand searched. A total of 1167 references were obtained, 103 full text papers was retrieved of which 59 articles was selected for this review.
Conclusions: The width of attached gingiva is not significant to maintain periodontal health in the presence of adequate oral hygiene. However, thin gingival tissues around teeth with restorations or undergoing labial orthodontic tooth movement may be more susceptible to recession. The functional need for attached gingiva around implants has not been established but its aesthetic value has been widely accepted.

Background: Injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) has the capacity to release great amounts of several growth factors, as well as to stimulate increased fibroblast migration and the expression of collagen, transforming growth factor β, and platelet-derived growth factor. Consequently, i-PRF can be used as a bioactive agent to promote periodontal tissue regeneration.
Objective: We aim to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of i-PRF in periodontal tissue regeneration.

The aim of the study is to comprehensively examine the composition and localization of the auricle in formalin-fixed human fetuses during the second and third trimesters of the antenatal period. Ninety-seven auricles were evaluated (33 females and 31 males in the second, and 22 females and 11 males in the third trimester). Nine morphometric dimensions were directly measured from auricles.

Objectives: The current literature about the effect of advanced platelet rich fibrin(A-PRF) with vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) technique in treating gingival recession is scarce. Therefore, the aim of the current randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of A-PRF with VISTA technique in the treatment of Cairo class 1 gingival recession (RT1).
Methods: Twenty-four patients who met the eligibility criteria were randomly allocated into two groups.
Proper alignment of the teeth not only aids in functional occlusion but also promotes harmonious gingival contours, potentially reducing the risk of inflammation and gingival recession. This case series aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of optimizing axial inclination through clear aligner orthodontic treatment in addressing gingival recession defects. This case series included nine patients, aged 20-36 years, who presented with varying degrees of gingival recession on 12 mandibular incisors.

Article Synopsis
- Drones are improving nutrient management by allowing precise spraying techniques, which are especially important under climate change.
- Current research focuses on optimizing various parameters like flight height, pressure, and nozzle configuration to enhance spray efficiency and reduce waste.
- The study found that a hover height of 2.0 meters provided the best spray uniformity and distribution, showing the effectiveness of careful drone operation in agricultural practices.
