Papilla Preservation and Tunneling Technique in Root Coverage - Part 2: The Use of AlloDerm

Description:
In part 2 of this instructional surgical video series, Dr. Edward Pat Allen describes in great detail the utilization of AlloDerm techniques in root coverage of multiple adjacent recession defects. In this section, emphasis is placed on shaping and sizing the AlloDerm as well as the micro-suturing techniques that optimize stabilization of the flap and the Alloderm.

Questions & Comments
David Ting - (3/27/2020 2:39 PM)

Thanks for the knowledge

Rob Michienzi - (5/16/2018 8:51 AM)

Is there a recommendation for antibiotic coverage for Alloderm cases. I still use Peridex and I start them a week before the procedure. I also recall Dr. Allen using some type of gel application to graft postop Instead of peridex.

David Furnari - (12/4/2016 11:20 PM)

I noticed that Dr Allen pointed out the difference between the basement membrane side and the connective tissue side of the alloderm. He did not make it clear if he prefers the CT side ( CT side does soak up blood) facing the mobilized tissue for new blood supply or facing the remaining periosteum and bone?

Maurice Salama - (3/21/2016 9:28 AM)

Randall; Great question. The best way to manage that situation is to restore the carious root lesion with glass ionomer and NOT composite resin. Glass ionomer can have a connective tissue attachment while composite can only manage a long junctional epithelial attachment which is much more fragile. Hope that helps. Dr. Salama

Randall Krebs - (3/20/2016 8:42 PM)

If there were a carious lesion on the root surface, say just inferior to the crown margin in the video (or on the mesial aboutment of a 4-5 unit bridge that you didn't want to remove), could that alloderma attach to the restoration or do you need cementum only? How would one regaining an attachment over a restoration if a lesion described above were present?

Maurice Salama - (1/26/2014 8:32 PM)

Although I do perform it differently, no denying the nice step by step surgical techniques displayed here by Dr. Allen. Thanks Dr. Salama

Richard Stanley - (1/21/2013 12:26 AM)

Excellently presented for training and developing skills for the doctor and assistant Truly a teaching video and one the surgical team can watch, learn from and replicate. Thank you.

seng kyu choi - (10/22/2012 12:18 AM)

Thank you Dr. Allen. good clinical presentation..

Andy Lewis - (9/13/2012 12:09 PM)

This is a different technique than I have seen him present in the past. In the last year I have seen him use the continuous sling suture capturing both the graft and the advancing flap. This seems like an older technique. Does it matter which we use?

Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy: Decision Making in the 21st Century
Non-surgical periodontal therapy is a vital part of everyday dental practice. Since the majority of periodontal therapy is performed by general dentists and dental hygienists, it is critical that clinicians have all of the requisite skills and information needed to perform these services at the highest level possible. The purpose of this presentation is to provide the latest evidence- and practice- based information on periodontal debridement and adjunctive therapies that can improve patient outcomes. Though surgical procedures may still need to be performed in some sites, the majority of inflammatory periodontal disease can be eliminated or reduced significantly using the techniques and protocols discussed in this educational segment on non-surgical periodontal therapy.

Negative Factors for Soft & Hard Tissue Maintenance Premium Member Content

Negative Factors for Soft & Hard Tissue Maintenance
Maintaining the bone is the most difficult challenge in implantology (bone grafted or native bone around implants). If a tissue want to live long, it has to follow 2 conditions: The first condition is to organize a full blood supply.. However, it’s not enough. The solution for the long term stability is to try to organize the stability of the blood supply.. by the respect of several biologic conditions. Almost of these conditions are explained in this lecture. We introduce here the new concept to avoid the reduction of blood supply by the periosteal incision: the soft brushing technique is the first technique which allows a very large increase of the flap without any incision: the flap closure without tension but without any incision.

Tobacco is a major risk factor in the development and severity of periodontal disease, as well as in the response to periodontal therapy. It is essential that methods be employed to increase awareness of the adverse effects on the oral cavity directly related to smoking, specifically the relationship between the latter and its impact on periodontal tissue.

Clinical and Microbiological Effects of Local Tetracycline Irrigation on Periodontitis
This investigation was conducted on seven individuals referred for treatment of moderate adult periodontitis. Twenty-eight sites with an average probing depth of 5.6 ± 0.9 mm were evaluated. One tooth per jaw quadrant was randomly assigned to receive one of the following treatments: (I) no treatment, i.e., control; (II) saline irrigation; (III) tetracycline irrigation and (IV) scaling and root planing (SC/RP). A plaque control program was instituted one week prior to the experimental period and reinforced…
