Mariano and Christopher; Many thanks. The Radiosurgery unit utilized was an Ellmans with a 7 setting on Cut only. Move quickly through the tissue to avoid charring and over heating. I prefer Tuberosity tissue for any ridge augmentation or pontic enhancement procedure as the tissue is dense and fibrous unlike the palate which is best for root coverage. Good luck on Wednesday.

Is the device you used the DentoSurg 90 F.F.P? Is it just and electro-bistury? Whe do you prefer tuberosity as a donor instead of the palatal for soft tissue grafting? Thanks and greatings from Argentina

Amir; thank you very much for your support. Yes, we coronally advance the buccal flap to achieve closure. This is very important. Thanks again Maurice

Thanks for another state of the art presentation, --- after inserting this 5 mm free g graft how do you achieve primary closure??? Do you release the bucal tissue to coronaly advance it? --- thanks again and can not thank you enough for dentalxp

Don't think a laser would have worked as well as it wold deliver too much heat to the graft tissue. Just tissue because a pontic, if an implant then would have come back 3-4 months later to perform bone graft in combination possibly with implant placement.
good luck

Could you use soft tissue laser to harvest tissue from tuberosity too?
Also, did you just do soft tissue graft and not bone graft because just a pontic site, so if you were doing an implant you would have done a bone graft too right? kevin

Achieving Predictable Connective Tissue Root Coverage
Gingival recession creates esthetic issues. These issues may be corrected from a restorative perspective by the placement of composite resin or ceramic over the exposed root. But this approach often results in a gingival-incisal length that does not blend esthetically with the adjacent teeth. Often accompanying the gingival recession is a decrease in the band of attached gingiva. The wider the band of attached gingiva, the more stable the long-term result. Therefore, surgical correction of the recession…

The Endentulous Ridge in Fixed Prosthodontics
In those clinical situations in which missing teeth are replaced with fixed prosthodontics, the clinician is faced with the task of fabricating the pontics to fulfill the requirements of esthetics, form and function, and oral physiotherapy. The relationship of the "dummy tooth", or pontic to the underlying ridge is inordinately complex, since the esthetic requirements invariably conflict with those of function and hygiene. Although pontic designs have been discussed in some depth in the literature,…
