What is laterally positioned flap?
What is laterally positioned flap?
The laterally positioned flap is commonly used to cover isolated, denuded roots that have adequate donor tissue laterally and vestibular depth. Various modifications in laterally sliding flap have been proposed in order to avoid the reported undesirable results on the donor teeth.
What is a Coronally positioned flap?
Coronally positioned flap will be initiated with two vertical incisions, extending from a mesial and distal linear angle at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and go beyond the mucogingival junction.
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.
What is pedicle graft?
PEDICLE GRAFTS In this procedure, instead of taking tissue from the palate, it is grafted from gum around or near the tooth needing repair. The flap, called a pedicle, is only partially cut away so that one edge remains attached. The gum is then pulled over or down to cover the exposed root and sewn into place.
How do you get a free gum graft?
Surgical procedure
- Step 1: Preparing the recipient site.
- Step 2: Harvesting the free gingival graft from palate.
- Step 3: Preparation and placement of fibrin-fibronectin sealing system (Tissucol®/Tisseel) on the root surface.
- Step 4: Placement of free gingival graft on the recipient bed coated with Tissucol.
What is displaced flap?
•Displaced flaps: When the flap is placed apically, coronally or laterally to their original position. DESIGN OF THE FLAP •Split the papilla (conventional flap) •Preserve it (papilla preservation flap)
What is modified Widman flap?
Modified Widman Flap (MWF) The method is characterized by precise incisions, partial flap reflection and an atraumatic proce- dure, whose goal is not necessarily pocket elimination but “healing” (regeneration or a long junc- tional epithelium) of the periodontal pocket with minimum tissue loss.
How do I know if my gum graft is healing?
You will know that healing has begun when the soft tissues are shrinking and there is less swelling. The gum tissues gradually starts to bind to the root surface and nearby bone surface as well. New vessels will also start to form and the tissues will receive enough blood supply.
How long do stitches stay in after gum graft surgery?
Sutures (stitches) will usually have to be removed approximately 10 days to 2 weeks following your surgery. Do not disturb the sutures with your tongue, toothbrush or any other device. Displacement of sutures will impair healing and affect the success of your procedure.
