Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationship of gingival thickness and width of keratinized gingiva with different malocclusion groups and amount of crowding.
Methods: A total of 181 periodontally healthy subjects were enrolled in the present study. The study participants were divided into three malocclusion groups: Angle Class I, Angle Class II, and Angle Class III. Each group was divided into subgroups according to the amount of dental crowding, namely mild, moderate, and severe. The width of keratinized gingiva was calculated as the distance between mucogingival junction and free gingival margin, whereas gingival thickness was determined by a transgingival probing technique.
Results: Tooth numbers 13 and 23 were observed to have thin gingival biotype. The width of keratinized gingiva for tooth numbers 13 and 23 was narrower in the severe crowding group than in the moderate and mild crowding groups. The relationship of gingival thickness and width of keratinized gingiva with Angle classification was not found to be significant.
Conclusion: Although it is thought that there is a relationship between gingival thickness, width of keratinized gingiva, and Angle classification with regard to malaligned teeth, this cross-sectional evaluation of 181 patients failed to show a significant relationship.

It is well known that keratinized mucosa (KM) plays a crucial role for maintaining peri implant health and esthetic outcomes. The Strip Gingival Graft (SGG) technique, which involved an apically positioned flap (APF), in combination with an autogenous SGG and a xenogeneic collagen matrix (XCM), demonstrated its efficacy in re-establishing an adequate amount of KM width at implant sites. Nevertheless, it is still unclear whether harvesting the SGG from the palate (pSGG) or from the buccal aspect of natural dentition (bSGG) affects the esthetic outcomes at the augmented implant sites.

Bone augmentation procedures often leads to coronal displacement of the mucogingival junction, a deficiency of keratinized mucosa, and a reduction in soft tissue height. These challenges complicate the achievement of an ideal peri-implant phenotype. It is known that addressing both the quantity and quality of soft tissue is crucial for the long-term success and aesthetics of implants.

Background: The importance of peri-implant soft tissues in maintaining tissue health and aesthetics has been recognized. A thickness of at least 2 mm is considered a protective factor against peri-implantitis. This study assessed clinical outcomes and complications at implant sites following soft tissue augmentation with either palatal free gingival graft (FGG) or palatal pedicle graft (PPG).

Introduction: Soft-tissue defect is commonly seen in immediate maxillary posterior implantation because of tooth extraction wound and tension from bone graft. Bone graft materials exposure has a significant detrimental influence on bone augmentation. However, previous studies lack sufficient evidence to guide wound closure after immediate posterior implantation.

Background: For a periodontist, treating recession is always a proud moment and a challenging task. The current trial aimed at comparing and clinically evaluating semilunar coronally repositioned flap (SCRF) and coronally advanced flap (CAF) procedures combined with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in the management of Miller's Class I recession defects.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-six recession sites were randomly divided into the CAF or SCRF groups.
