Abstract

Gingival recession is a complex phenomenon with multifactorial aetiology. It is defined as the apical migration of the soft tissue margin beyond the cementoenamel junction, thereby exposing the root surface. It results in the destruction of both soft and hard tissues. Three patients with buccal gingival recession defects underwent surgical treatment consisting of transposition of a periosteal pedicle in conjunction with the coronally advanced flap (CAF) technique. As the cambium layer of the periosteum has greater osteoblastic potential than the fibrous layer, this study considered juxtaposing of the cambium layer directly onto the denuded root surface. A 9-month review demonstrated satisfactory: root coverage; gain in clinical attachment, reduction in probing depth and; increase in width of keratinized gingiva with a good color match and minimal scarring. Within the limits of the study, this coronally advanced flap technique, in conjunction with the cambium layer of periosteum, showed a significant amount of root coverage.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
