Enhancing Gingival Phenotype With Vestibuloplasty and Free Gingival Graft: Improving Maintenance of Regular Oral Hygiene. [PDF]
This case report describes Clark's technique of vestibuloplasty to treat shallow vestibule and, in addition, the use of free gingival autograft to augment attached gingiva to treat Miller's recession. Vestibuloplasty is performed to deepen a shallow vestibule.

Gingival Phenotype Changes and the Prevalence of Mucogingival Deformities during the Early Transitional Dentition Phase-A Two-Year Longitudinal Study. [PDF]
Thin gingival phenotype (GPh) may contribute to periodontal tissue breakdown and recession development. Thus, the early identification of thin GPh in children can allow proper preventive care and the identification of children at risk during orthodontic ...

Are colored periodontal probes reliable to classify the gingival phenotype in terms of gingival thickness? [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundThis cross‐sectional study assessed the potential of colored periodontal probes (CPP) to classify gingival phenotype in terms of gingival thickness (GT).MethodsBuccal GT in three anterior teeth in each of 50 patients was measured by transgingival sounding and classified by three different methods by eight examiners.

Regulation of gingival fibroblast phenotype by periodontal ligament cells in vitro [PDF]
AbstractObjectivesStem cell transplantation has shown modest effects on periodontal tissue regeneration, and it is still unclear how regenerative effects utilizing this modality are mediated. A greater understanding of the basic interactions between implanted and host cells is needed to improve future strategies.

Leptin and Pro-Inflammatory Stimuli Synergistically Upregulate MMP-1 and MMP-3 Secretion in Human Gingival Fibroblasts [PDF]
Introduction Gingival fibroblast-mediated extracellular matrix remodelling is implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, yet the stimuli that regulate this response are not fully understood. The immunoregulatory adipokine leptin is detectable in

Gingival Tissue Transcriptomes Identify Distinct Periodontitis Phenotypes [PDF]
The currently recognized principal forms of periodontitis—chronic and aggressive—lack an unequivocal, pathobiology-based foundation. We explored whether gingival tissue transcriptomes can serve as the basis for an alternative classification of periodontitis.

CD40 expression by gingival fibroblasts: correlation of phenotype with function [PDF]
CD40, a member of the tumor necrosis factor-alpha receptor family, is constitutively expressed by cells of hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic origin, including fibroblasts. Signaling through this receptor molecule regulates inflammatory cytokine secretion by many cell types.
