Gingival enlargement is one of the most common soft tissue problems associated with orthodontic treatment. The presence of orthodontic appliances impedes oral hygiene measures and alters the oral microbial ecosystem to a more pathogenic oral biofilm. Subsequent accumulation of plaque can contribute to the development of chronic periodontal inflammation and can progress to gingival overgrowth.
This article is about anterior tooth fracture and the treatment of the soft and hard tissues. 17.93% of extracted teeth are due to root fracture. Most extracted teeth for root fracture were teeth with prosthetic restorations (Popescu SM 2017).
The goal of regenerative periodontal therapy is the reconstitution of the lost periodontal structures (i.e. the new formation of root cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone). Results from basic research have pointed to the important role of the enamel matrix protein derivative (EMD) in the periodontal wound healing. Histological results from animal and human studies […]
Dental implants are successfully used to replace the missing teeth. Despite the predictability of success of dental implants. Dental implants have a high success rate, but some people experience dental implant failure. It’s estimated that about 5 to 10 percent of dental implants fail, either shortly after a procedure or months or years later.
Socket preservation or alveolar ridge preservation is a procedure to reduce bone loss after tooth extraction. After tooth extraction, the jaw bone has a natural tendency to become narrow, and lose its original shape because the bone quickly reabsorbs, resulting in 30–60% loss in bone volume in the first six months.
Some people may experience receding gums due to poor oral hygiene or other factors but some may receive gum recession just because of the location of their muscle attachments which will be presented in this article. Muscle attachments are often called frenal attachments. Several frenum are present in the mouth. The one that most often […]

The article introduces how to prepare surrounding area of an implant after extraction of a lost tooth. The article includes before pictures and X-Rays, results after 10 days of healing and a video of the surgery. An 80 year old male patient was referred to me by his prosthodontist. They wanted the lost tooth extracted, […]
Here I show just how successful recession coverage can be to treat receding gums by presenting follow up results. A video summary of the procedure has been previously documented and is re-posted below. This a procedure I have researched, refined and perfected and is a daily routine providing some of the highest success rates.
In this case I present how great results can be achieved using non-surgical procedures to treat peri-implantitis around implants. A 57 year old woman presented Peri-implantitis around implants 46 45 44 noting: Pus formation; Probing depth up to 12mm; Bleeding on probing; Pain; And bone loss.
