The attached gingiva is the part of the gingiva firmly attached to the underlying bone. In a healthy state, it extends from the free gingival groove to the mucogingival junction.

Garre’s osteomyelitis (proliferative periostitis) is characterized by multifocal bone involvement, often resulting in an "onion skin" radiographic pattern due to the formation of new bone layers.

Oral SurgeryPerform Caldwell-Luc to remove the tip: The Caldwell-Luc procedure (or a modified, less invasive version) has long been considered the standard surgical method for retrieving a displaced root or foreign body from the maxillary sinus, especially when it is mobile within the sinus cavity or the condition has become chronic. It involves creating a small bone window in the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus to access and remove the fragment.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Pericoronitis is often caused by the accumulation of food debris and bacteria
beneath the operculum, which is the gum tissue covering the partially erupted
tooth. Trauma from the opposing tooth can exacerbate this condition by further
irritating the gum and facilitating the entry of bacteria.

ProsthodonticsAn important advantage of the I-bar retainer in the RPI concept is that since the tooth contour is not altered, food accumulation against the tooth surface is minimized. The I-bar approaches the undercut from the gingival direction without requiring tooth modification, maintaining natural contours that promote self-cleansing.

Gingival recession is more prevalent on the labial (cheek or lip side) surface of teeth compared to the lingual (tongue side) surface. This is often due to the thinner bone and gingival tissue on the labial aspect, as well as the effects of toothbrushing.
Gingival recession is typically more common in adults than children.
