The problem that patients often complain about due to gingival recession is an aesthetic problem, especially if the recession occurs in the upper anterior teeth. In addition, gingival recession can also cause dentine hypersensitivity due to the exposure of the root surface that was previously covered by the gingiva. One of the treatment options for patients with gingival recession is free gingival autograft surgery. Purpose: The goal of this article is to explain how to manage gingival recession therapy with free gingival autograft surgery in patients with Miller Class III recession. Case: A 29-year-old female patient came to RSGM Airlangga University with complaints of hypersensitivity in the front teeth at the lower jaw. The last scaling took place about 6 months ago. The patient does not have a history of systemic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, and the patient does not have allergies to either drugs or food. Case Management: Based on the examination that has been carried out, the treatment option for Miller's class III gingival recession in the tooth region 41 is agreed to be a free gingival autograft. Conclusion: One of the root coverage treatment options is free gingival autograft, where this procedure can also increase the width of the attached gingiva.","PeriodicalId":197045,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dental and Oral Health","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135988532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These problems are compounded by aesthetic problems such as sagging skin, asymmetry and facial disfigurement, particularly in cases where the facial tissues are affected. This article describes the case of a patient with maxillary bone loss associated with a deficit of jugal covering tissues.

Given the absence of a mandibular prosthetic corridor, we will also describe our approach to rehabilitating the mandibular arch to prevent food and fluid spillage through the jugal gap.

Wesonga","doi":"10.24018/ejdent.2023.4.4.273","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24018/ejdent.2023.4.4.273","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Globally, dental caries has affected nearly 100% of adult teeth.  Dental caries is caused when microbial biofilm converts free sugar contained in such foods and drinks into acid which corrodes the tooth structure. In Kenya, the prevalence is 34%. This high prevalence has led to the negative impact associated with the disease. Therefore, this study’s main aim was to determine the prevalence of dental caries among adult patients in Bungoma County, Kenya. This study was conducted in Bungoma County and adopted a cross-sectional design. The target population was adult dental patients and the key informants were the dentist and dental technologist. Participants were selected using multistage sampling techniques. The sample size of 347 dental patients was arrived at using Cochran’s formula. Data were collected using the WHO-modified assessment questionnaire. WHO DMFT index checklist was also used. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences 25.0. Data were presented using tables and figures. Logistic regression was used to determine the direction of the association at the significance level set at 0.05. Thematic analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. The researcher observed the ethical principles applicable to the study.  The prevalence of dental caries among adult patients was 43.7% with a mean total DMFT index of 3.249 which signifies a moderate distribution among the adult population. Kimilili sub-county hospital had a moderate mean DMFT index of 4.47 and Webuye County hospital had a low mean DMFT index of 1.585. Dental caries was more prevalent in youths aged between 18 years to 35 years (60.1%). Moreover, the female gender has more dental caries prevalence at 57.4% as compared to male patients. The prevalence of dental caries is more prone among the rural (56.8%) as compared to the urban (43.2%). According to incomes, individuals who earn more than Ksh. 23,750 have a higher prevalence of 65.6%) than those who earn less than Ksh. 23,750 (34.4%). Dental caries is more prominent in the lower jaw. Those who do not brush their teeth were 4 times more likely to develop dental caries as compared to those who practise good oral hygiene practices (OR =3.0). Those who consume sugary foods and drinks frequently (OR: 2.4) and those who smoke tobacco (OR: 2.0) were times more likely to develop dental caries compared to those who did not consume sugary foods and smoke tobacco. Conclusion: The prevalence of dental caries among adults is moderate with the prevalence being higher in youths, female, low-income earners (< ksh.23,750) and rural dwellers. In terms of the jaws, the lower jaw is more susceptible to caries attack compared to the upper jaw and also the posterior teeth (premolar and molars) are more susceptible to caries compared to the upper jaw.

The red i-PRF contains a greater number of Growth Factor carrier cells than yellow layer, besides that liquid-PRF has a suitable consistency so it easy to combine with other biomaterials. Another biomaterial that can be combined with i-PRF is collagen-chitosan with hydrogel preparations. This study aims to determine the effect of a combination of collagen-chitosan hydrogel formulation with injection of platelet-rich fibrin fractionation on osteoblast cell migration and proliferation. This type of research was an experimental laboratory divided into 3 groups, which were given a combination of the collagen-chitosan hydrogel and i-PRF red layer, a combination of collagen-chitosan hydrogel and i-PRF yellow layer, and only a combination of collagen-chitosan hydrogel. Chitosan collagen hydrogel was prepared with a collagen/chitosan ratio of 25/75, then mixed with i-PRF fractionation with a ratio of 1:1. The cell proliferation test used CCK-8, while the cell migration test used scratch wound healing. Data were tested with One way ANOVA for cell migration and Two way ANOVA for cell proliferation, followed by a Post Hoc test. The results showed that migration of osteoblast cells after 24 hours in the combination group of chitosan collagen hydrogel and i-PRF red layer was higher than the other groups with significance (p<0.05). The results of osteoblast cell proliferation on days 1, 3, and 5 in the combination group of chitosan collagen hydrogel and i-PRF red layer were also higher than the other groups with significance (p<0.05).
