Abstract: The proposed technique based on frequency domain dual wavelength low coherence interferometry (FD-DWLCI) is demonstrated for sensing glucose in ex-vivo human gingival tissue, with ...

Gum graft surgery treats gum recession, which occurs when gum tissue is lost, exposing the roots of the teeth. Also known as gingival resection or gingival graft, this surgery involves removing ...

Surgical removal with a laser or scalpel to remove the tissue involved in the overgrowth/hyperplasia: If the underlying cause of gingival hyperplasia is not addressed, surgical removal could be ...

The most commonly affected area is that of the mandibular incisors, probably due to the anatomy of the region. Among the various factors predisposing ... The constant, low-intensity trauma of brushing ...

The precise mechanism involves a complex interaction between the drug's metabolic byproducts and gingival tissue, which triggers cell proliferation and inflammation. Immunosuppressants ...

In general, gingival hyperplasia refers to a condition in which the gum tissues surrounding the teeth grow excessively. Usually, that overgrowth is due to poor oral hygiene. Drug-induced ...

This article shows the step-by-step laboratory production process of a log-term prototype for the development and sculpting of anterior gingival tissue. The design phase began with exocad software, ...

The primary causes of gum recession include: physical wear or low grade trauma to the gums over several years inflammation of the tissues due to chronic inflammatory periodontal disease ...

The gingival sulcus is the natural space found between the tooth and the gum tissue that surrounds the tooth. Plaque generally builds up in this area, which in turn can lead to several dental ...

Gum recession is the process in which the tissue that surrounds the teeth pulls away from a tooth, exposing more of the tooth or the tooth's root. This can cause damage to supporting bone.

Despite recent advances in oral tissue engineering, experimental approaches have failed to develop a physiologically relevant gingival model that combines tissue organization with salivary flow ...
