Coronally advanced flap procedure: is the interdental papilla a prognostic factor for root coverage?
This study indicates that the root coverage following CAF procedure is not significantly correlated to papilla dimension. However, complete root coverage is significantly more frequent in sites with lower height of the adjacent papilla.
A single bolus of hydrocortisone 250 mg IV prior to PVI results in greater radiofrequency requirements for PVI and a higher prevalence of dormant PV conduction unmasked by adenosine. The utility of these approaches requires evaluation in a long-term prospective randomized study.
