Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Case Description
The pericoronal tissue, or dental follicle, is a connective tissue found around impacted teeth crown. The dental follicle is involved in odontogenesis, dental eruption and periodontogenesis. A young woman presented a vestibular U-shaped periodontal recession localized in tooth 26. After consent the patient underwent a local intervention combining the extraction of her included 28 and a mucogingival management of her periodontal recession localized in 26, using the pericoronary sac of the tooth of 28 has been used as a subepithelial connective autograft. The results 6 weeks after surgery showed a significant gain in thickness and a gain in height of attached gingiva of 26. The success of the use of pericoronary sac in subepithelial connective autograft may allow to spare the use of a healthy harvesting site. Furthermore, the dental follicle is often available in young patients with prophylactic extraction of impacted 3rd molars. However, one pericoronary sac may provide enough connective tissue, only for the surgical treatment of a unique recession site. The use of the pericoronal sac has shown promising results in the treatment of periodontal recessions. Wider applications could be investigated using the pericoronal sac in the future.
