Saadou; I do not typically utilize a Perio pack unless I need to ensure vestibular depth. But either way works. Dr. Salama

Couldn't agree more. Dr. Salama, how do you feel about using allograft materials for Free Gingival Graft procedures? Would it work as well as autogenous? Thanks for all your hard work. Sam

Dr. M. Bachar Abou Al Shaar - (10/11/2010 2:00 PM)

Thank you Dr. Maurice for this excellent clinical procedure presentation. I really enjoy watching high levels of knowledge and skills working together.

Bernardo and Gabriel;
Bernardo you are absolutely correct. The reason to utilize a free epithelized graft here is to gain a large zone of dense keratinized gingiva and to extend vestibular depth.

Soft tissue grafting is rapidly playing a larger role in restorative, esthetic, and reconstructive dentistry. While conventional grafting techniques have several limitations, newer grafting materials and techniques make it easier for patients to say "yes" to the treatment they truly need and desire. In this webinar, Dr. Wong will perform a step-by-step demonstration using Perioderm to correct multiple gingival recession defects.

Predictable tissue regeneration presents a considerable challenge in the surgical treatment of gingival tissue defects. Soft-tissue augmentation procedures to increase the existing or create a new zone of attached keratinized gingival tissue have classically been performed using the patient's own masticatory mucosa and, more recently, using an acellular dermal allograft as the donor material. This article presents a clinical case whereby an acellular dermal allograft was placed on the buccal surface…

Current Trends in Gingival Recession Coverage

Current Trends in Gingival Recession Coverage
The recession of the gingiva is increasingly becoming a more prominent condition in the oral health of many patients and should be treated at its earliest detection. The multifactorial etiology, decision modality, and current trends followed in the treatment of gingival recession are discussed in this presentation. The correction of Class I and II gingival recessions are presented as a means of minimizing surgical trauma and achieving predictable aesthetic results. Part II of this discussion will present alternative techniques in treating gingival recession.
