The Importance of Connective Tissue in the Management of Long Term Stability of Compromised Natural Teeth
Description:
In factoring in all the protection biologic tissues surrounding the tooth no greater tissue, attached connective tissue serves a more important role in the long term maintenance of natural teeth. By the nature of connective tissue (minimal vascularity and dense) it has built in properties and really acts as the main barrier between bacteria and the underlying Periodontium. One key factor is is must be attached or is serves as no protection. The video presented will show clinical long term evidence of its importance along with different techniques to achieve such results. Critical to ones understanding it must be accepted that Recession means only one thing- BONE LOSS.

Great presentation, over the years you have taught me alot. A good review of the basics. Attached gingiva rules.

appreciate again

David that was comprehensive as always, i am totally agree with you in that connective tissue is the best choice and that perioderm can be an alternative in large cases.
thanks again

Surely one of the best lectures here on dental xp land. Thank you Daniel.

Sam,
100% of the time I would prefer palatal tissue over Perioderm. No vestibule is a real killer for either Alloderm or Perioderm. All mucosal attachment. I amvery happy with Perioderm but the palate is my favorite and will always be. Sorry for the delay. I did not know there were any questions.
Thanks,
Danny

Paul,
There may be a misunderstanding. I use Perioderm all the time. I no longer use Alloderm as all as Perioderm is so much easier to use.
Perioderm is:
1. Same consistency for the entire piece of material
2. Easy to suture
3. When moist very easy to contour
4. Lays on the teeth not on your gloves.
Every friend I know that switched to Perioderm has thanked me.

Excellent lecture Dr Melker. My compliments to your work and ease to explain.

Nice cases. Just curious how you say that you do not use Perio Derm or Allo derm and then you showed a case that you did use Perio derm with good success. Did I miss something in the discussion?

The Management of Soft Tissue Complications in Implant Dentistry
A variety of soft tissue procedures have been employed for treatment of soft tissue and ridge defects around implant sites. Some of the limitations of current techniques include scar formation at recipient sites due to surface incisions, relapse of recession due to muscle pull during healing, wound dehiscence and graft exposure. This presentation will discuss the myriad flap and incision designs, tunnel techniques as well as grafting options and suturing.

Combination Approach to Site Development: Autologous Tissue
The ideal grafting material should be biocompatible, biodegradable, easy handling, cost-effective, minimize inflammation and foreign body reaction, not transmit diseases and assure a long-term restoration and preservation of the alveolar ridge. Is there any better scenario to prove the grafting material properties than the worst scenario in esthetic implant dentistry: central-lateral, site by site? In this lecture, the combination approach to the site preservation and development utilizing exclusively autologous tissues is explained, based on the available literature and presenter´s experience and shown on numerous central-lateral cases.

The “Semilunar” Graft Technique in Periodontal Plastic Surgery: Revision and Retreatment of Anterior Recession Defects.
In this lecture and video based Case Report, a patient with multiple recession defects in the Maxillary Anterior Region who was first treated with Tunnel Approach and ACDM grafts reveals breakdown of the result at 3 years in the area of the Maxillary Left Central Incisor with further recession and erosion of the root. The Semi-Lunar Approach is highlighted as a minimally invasive microsurgical approach to this situation. Incision design, instrumentation and suturing are highlighted. Post-op results are displayed.

Revisiting the Papilla in 2016 - Part 2 of 2
While different surgical techniques can restore most aspects of a ridge deficiency,as part of the soft tissue restorative frame, the regeneration of lost proximal papilla form is surgically limited to those papillae bordered on each side by a pontic The Classification of 6 types of papilla defects is based on the specifics of the restorative support on either side of the individual site,and can therefore be a tooth, implant or pontic, or combinations of the 3.

The Critical “Pink” Interface in Esthetic Dentistry—A Cross-Disciplinary Approach: Options, Limitations, and Solutions
This program is a perspective into how cross- disciplinary interface planning has become and integral part of clinical esthetic dentistry, in particular implant diagnostics. Today it is essential to combine “white” tooth esthetics with “pink” gingival aspects. Understanding the individual prosthetic, surgical, and biologic limitations is part of innovative treatment-planning protocols developed in an approach to provide, simplify, and expedite minimally invasive limited therapy. Preemptive CBCT and 3D CAD/CAM planning of soft and hard tissue procedures, implant placement, ridge reduction, and restorative design now utilize new innovative protocols for the entire restoration from top to bottom - implant, abutment, and restoration - and the interfaces in between.

Changes in Soft Tissue Dimensions Following Three Different Techniques of Stage-Two Surgery: A Case Series Report
The aim of this case report is to compare the resilts of the increase in keratinized mucosa using three different techniques of stage-two surgery. Thirty-two patients with one to eight dental implants who received prosthetic rehabilitation of the maxilla were included. Patients were divided into three groups based on preoperative anatomical considerations. Stage-two surgery was performed using wither the apically repositioned flap, the roll flap, or an apically repositioned flap combined with a connective tissue graft.
