Gingival recession or soft tissue recession is defined as the displacement of the gingival margin apical to the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) of a tooth or the platform of a dental implant. 1,2 …

In this study, we propose a modified vestibular extension procedure to be performed on teeth without detectable MGJ along with adjacent teeth with detectable MGJ, the procedure …

Almost 25% of the population may show a tooth or few teeth without a clinically detectable MGJ. The prevalence of teeth without clinically detectable MGJ per mouth is very low at 0.7 …

The mucosa of the cheeks and floor of the mouth are freely moveable and fragile, whereas the mucosa around the teeth and on the palate are firm and keratinized. Where the two tissue …

The Mucogingival Junction (MGJ) refers to the boundary area where the firmly attached gum tissue (gingiva) meets the moveable lining of the oral cavity (mucosa). It is a distinct …

Jul 7, 2023 · Context: The mucogingival junction (MGJ) is one of the important anatomical entities which mark the apical termination of attached gingiva, except that at palatal side. Its position is...

The MGJ is an essential aspect of periodontal health, and it is important for dental professionals to have a thorough understanding of its anatomy, function, and clinical significance. The MGJ …

Aims: The purpose of this study was to assess the formation and stability of MGJ on teeth without clinically detectable MGJ secondary to vestibular extension procedures for multiple adjacent …

In the anterior teeth, the MGJ is usually located just apical to the free gingival margin. In the posterior teeth, the MGJ is located at the crest of the alveolar bone. The MGJ plays several …

Gingival recession, a common periodontal condition characterized by the apical migration of the gingival margin, affects millions worldwide. This review aims to provide an overview of the …
