Objective: To determine the efficacy of latelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and Amniotic membrane (AM) along with the coronally advanced flap (CAF) technique in treating Miller's class I gingival recession (GR) defects.

Material And Methods: A total of 32 sites with Miller's class I GR defects were distributed into Group A (CAF + PRF, n = 16) and Group B (CAF + AM, n = 16). Clinical parameters like gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), gingival bleeding index (GBI), gingival sulcus depth (GSD), relative attachment level (RAL), and gingival marginal level (GML) were measured at baseline and at 3, 6 and 9 months after surgical intervention.

Results: PRF and AM with CAF were effective treatment modalities for treating Miller's class I GR defects, with an average root coverage value of 2.00 ± 0.75 mm in Group A and 1.5 ± 0.3 mm in Group B. Complete coverage (100 %) was obtained in 57 % sites of group A and 49 % sites of group B. At the 9-month follow-up, there was a significant increase in relative attachment levels in both groups when compared to baseline.

Conclusion: In the present study it was observed that there was a clinically and statistically significant improvement in root coverage with both groups. PRF-treated sites showed > 50 % complete coverage and hence were superior. AM showed comparable results to PRF and could be used as an alternative.

Introduction: Interproximal attachment has received much attention in modern periodontology because it is a key diagnostic and prognostic factor. Currently, we can find many articles with results of bare root coverage, but few data and studies that describe root closure and obtaining interproximal attachment at the same time.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to introduce a double-layer tunnel surgical technique for gingival papilla reconstruction and regeneration of the supraalveolar interproximal attachment.

Background: Although postoperative pain after mucogingival surgery can modify the patient's daily life, few studies have compared daily postoperative pain in mucogingival surgery considering patient characteristics. The aim of this study was to evaluate postoperative pain in 24 patients with Miller class III/RT2 multiple recessions treated with the modified VISTA (m-VISTA) versus the coronally advanced flap (CAF) with a connective tissue graft (CTG). Material and Methods: Data related to pain intensity (PI), pain duration (PD), analgesic drug intake (AI), and time of analgesic need (TAN) were collected in the “UPV/EHU pain diary”.

Many students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have negative social experiences with classmates and teachers. The Making Socially Accepting Inclusive Classrooms (MOSAIC) intervention asked teachers to give positive attention strategies to students at risk for ADHD, at a 3:1 ratio compared to their peers. Evidence suggested that although MOSAIC students at risk for ADHD reported improved relationships with teachers, they were more disliked by their classroom peers, relative to counterparts in a typical practice control group.

Given the uniqueness of the mitochondria, and the fact that they have their own genome, mitochondrial-derived microproteins (MDPs) are similar to, but different from, nuclear-encoded microproteins. The discovery of an increasing number of microproteins from this organelle and the importance of mitochondria to cellular and organismal health make it a priority to study this novel class of proteins in search of possible therapeutic targets and cures. In this review, we discuss the history of MDP discovery, describe the function of each MDP, and conclude with future goals and techniques to help discover more MDPs.
