Esthetic Root Coverage by Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft with Management of Repeated Rupture of Palatal Arterial Bleeding: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Nowadays, patients are much concerned about esthetics of the oro-facial region. Gingival recession is considered as one of the major esthetic problems creating complex situations by compromising oral esthetics. This can be treated successfully by means of several mucogingival surgical procedures which can be used to accomplish satisfactory root coverage without any loss of interdental soft- and hard-tissue height. Grafts are also very useful in such scenarios. Our case reports the connective tissue graft technique used in the treatment of gingival recession. The objective of this case was to evaluate the efficacy of connective tissue graft (CTG) and also to mention the management of complications on the donor site.

A Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedure to Harvest Palate Periosteum as a Source of Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells for Bone Tissue Engineering

“…As surgical flap procedures have been related to higher levels of pain intensity and associated analgesic consumption when compared with flapless surgery [ 37 ], it is important to study the possibility of a flapless approach to obtain PDSCs. Furthermore, the design of deep incisions and a huge flap at the posterior palate can result in hemorrhage [ 22 ].…”

“…Wang et al (2018) [ 21 ] carried out a huge palatal flap surgery, with a deep vertical releasing incision, to harvest periosteum tissue for stem cell obtaining. This is clearly a drawback of this harvesting method due to the presence of the greater palatine neurovascular bundle in the palate, which might result in a hemorrhage if injured [ 22 ].…”
