What is Vista technique?

Since 2012, vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) technique was used with various regenerative membranes to treat multiple recession defects (MRDs). Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane, a pool of growth factors but have any added advantage to recession coverage techniques is controversial.

What is the difference between biotype and phenotype?

The sum of an organism’s observable characteristics is their phenotype. A key difference between phenotype and genotype is that, whilst genotype is inherited from an organism’s parents, the phenotype is not. Whilst a phenotype is influenced the genotype, genotype does not equal phenotype.

What is the most common cause of gingival recession?

The most common cause for gum recession is a bacterial infection called periodontal (gum) disease that most often arises from plaque, a thin film of bacteria and food particles accumulating on teeth. Gum disease in turn weakens the gums causes them to recede.

What is phenotyping and genotyping?

The genotype refers to the genetic material passed between generations, and the phenotype is observable characteristics or traits of an organism.

What is an example of phenotype?

The term “phenotype” refers to the observable physical properties of an organism; these include the organism’s appearance, development, and behavior. Examples of phenotypes include height, wing length, and hair color.

At what age do gums start receding?

According to the CDA, receding gums are most common in adults 40 years of age and older. For this reason, it is often misconceived as a normal sign of aging. Also, more men than women develop receding gums.

Do receding gums grow back?

The simple answer is, no. If your gums are damaged by, for example periodontitis, the most severe form of gum disease, it’s not possible for receding gums to grow back. However, even though receding gums can’t be reversed there are treatments that can help to stop the problem from getting worse.

What is a thin biotype?

Thin gingival biotypes are delicate, highly scalloped and translucent in appearance (Fig. 3). The soft tissue appears delicate and friable with a minimal amount of the attached gingiva. The underlying bone is thin or minimal bone over the labial roots with possible presence of fenestrations and dehiscence.

How do you identify fenestration?

A fenestration is a “window” of bone loss on the facial or lingual aspect of a tooth that places the exposed root surface directly in contact with gingiva or alveolar mucosa. It can be distinguished from the dehiscence in that the fenestration is bordered by alveolar bone along its coronal aspect.
