What is Vista technique?
The VISTA technique [27] consists of performing a vertical vestibular incision in the mucosa, usually at the level of the maxillary frenulum. Subsequently, the elevation of the subperiosteal tunnel is continued through the vertical incision.
What is tunnel technique?
The tunnel technique is an approach that optimizes esthetics and predictability because of its ability to avoid releasing critical papillae and maintaining a high level of vascularity at the surgical site to support the grafts.
How do you harvest connective tissue grafts from palate?
In the traditional approach to harvesting connective tissue grafts, the surgeon elevates a relatively thin split-thickness palatal flap and harvests the SCTG that remains attached to the underlying bone.
Who gave Vista technique?
VISTA is modified CAF introduced by Zadah et al. in 2011 for coverage of Class I multiple maxillary recession defects. [6] Grafting serve as a scaffold to support wound healing and provide better root coverage.
What is pouch and tunnel technique?
The pouch and tunnel technique combines the advantages of subepithelial connective tissue grafting as well as the envelope technique thus making it an ideal choice for treatment of multiple adjacent recessions in a single surgical procedure demonstrating early healing and highly predictable root coverage results.
Who gave pouch and tunnel technique?
This case series outlines the advantages of SCTG using pouch and tunnel procedure, as outlined by Allen in 1994, for treatment of multiple gingival recessions over other treatment modalities.
What is CTG surgery?
CONNECTIVE TISSUE GRAFT ( CTG): This technique is used when there is gum recession around teeth and causes cosmetic problems. This technique CTG has the best results regarding root coverage and color-matching the adjacent tissue area. CTG can be used alone or with regenerative materials.
What does Fgg mean in dentistry?
FREE GINGIVAL GRAFT (FGG): This technique is used when there is gum recession or very thin gingival tissues around teeth or dental implants. FGGhas the best results for increasing the gingival thickness and attached gingiva to withstand the mechanical or frictional forces during eating.
Can you talk after gum graft surgery?
If are asking yourself if you can talk after the surgery then the answer is yes. Gum graft surgery cannot make you unable to speak. Depending on the clinic, the dentist can fit a gum graft surgery stent which will protect the gum graft donor tissue while you are eating.
What is autogenous connective tissue graft?
Autogenous Graft Procedures This is the most common method used to treat root exposure. During the procedure, a flap of gum is cut at the roof of your mouth (palate) and tissue from under the flap, called subepithelial connective tissue, is removed and then stitched to the gum tissue surrounding the exposed root.
