Application of Tunnel Techniques and Acellular Dermal Matrices
نویسنده
چکیده
The soft tissue architecture is an important part of an attractive smile. Autogenous connective grafts have been successful in treating gingival recession. Their availability, however, is limited by palatal anatomy. Acellular dermal matrices have been shown to be successful in the treatment of gingival recession and do not have availability problems. Traditional flap elevation can lead to shrinkage of the interdental papillae and diminish esthetic results. Tunnel techniques protect the interdental papillae. This article discusses the use of an acellular dermal allograft and a tunnel technique in the treatment of multiple gingival recession sites in the esthetic zone.
