Background: The mucogingival conditions associated with the recession defects at the mandibular anterior region, not only make plaque control difficult to be performed by the patient but also pose a problem in passively advancing the tissues at the recipient site. This surgical technique is used to treat multiple recession defects in the mandibular anterior region.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-five sites in 17 subjects (11 women and 6 men) underwent modified bridge flap and de-epithelized gingival unit graft (d-GUG) as a single-step treatment modality to cover the denuded root surface, as well as increase the width of keratinized gingiva in recession type 1 gingival recession defects in the mandibular anterior region.
Background and objectives Mucogingival plastic surgery is a surgical procedure performed to prevent or correct anatomical, developmental, or traumatic defects. The problem of gingival recession is common in dental practice, causing pain and dentin hypersensitivity for the patient, and remains difficult to treat surgically at the second surgical site used to harvest the connective graft. Many alternatives have been used to replace connective grafts, but none have been as effective.

Article Synopsis
- The aim is to enhance the training of periodontics specialists by updating competencies, learning outcomes, and evaluation methods in response to the 2018 Classification of Periodontal Diseases and EFP Clinical Guidelines.
- The research involved gathering evidence from scientific databases and European higher education policies, alongside surveys sent to program directors and graduates.
- Results showed that curricula are regularly updated, graduates feel positively about their training, though concerns exist regarding mucogingival and surgical instruction, and there’s a shift towards more interactive teaching methods while assessments should incorporate diverse evaluation techniques.*

During or after the orthodontic closure, persistent diastemas are frequently the result of a high frenum attachment. A labial frenectomy is a complete removal of the frenum attachment, which typically attaches to the space between the upper two anterior teeth and the centre of the upper lip. It might be required if there is space between the teeth due to a frenulum positioned too high on the gums.
