Abstract:

Introduction: Coverage of bone grafts is very important in reconstructive surgery. In edentulous alveolar ridges this coverage is particularly important for supporting dental prostheses. Here we present the case of a patient with a large deficient maxillary anterior region that was reconstructed with a bilateral palatal submucosal periosteal connective tissue flap: a soft tissue reserve for upper jaw reconstructive surgeries. The bilateral pediculated palatal periosteal connective tissue flap was used for coverage of a large bone graft in the anterior maxillary region.  Conclusion: Palatal submucosa can be used as a soft tissue reserve in upper jaw reconstructions.

Vascularized Interpositional Periosteal Connective Tissue Flap Technique to correct Soft Tissue Defect around Maxillary Anterior Implant

The esthetic outcome of implant-supported restorations has become increasingly important, especially for single-tooth implants in the esthetic zone. Because of the morphologic alterations that occur following tooth extraction, augmentation procedures are often necessary before, during, or after implan tation to achieve an esthetically pleasing result. There are many periodontal plastic surgery ...

The palatal subepithelial connective tissue flap method for soft tissue management to cover maxillary defects: a clinical report.

This article presents a technique for soft tissue reconstruction and covering defects associated with maxillary implant-supported restorations. A pedicle subepithelial connective tissue flap is prepared from the palatal mucosa near the area to be treated and is displaced into the receptor site. The donor site remains primarily covered. An increase in soft tissue volume is achieved at the recept...

The bilateral pedicle flap-tunnel technique: a new approach to cover connective tissue grafts.

A new surgical technique for the treatment of adjacent soft tissue marginal recession is presented. This technique combines the use of a tunnel procedure with double lateral pedicle flaps to cover a connective tissue graft. This approach combines the advantages of the tunnel technique with the increased blood supply and protection provided by pedicle flaps. Indications include adjacent Class I ...
