This article, via two clinical cases, describes a micro-surgical treatment protocol that combines a connective tissue graft with a supra-periosteal tunnel technique for correction of recession defects in the mandible. We propose a treatment rationale where the connective tissue graft is voluntarily exposed on the root surface using controlled exposure, resulting in predictable keratinized tissu...

Moreover, one can hypothesize existence an analogous other organs, such as airways or some part...
