Learn Two Grafting Procedures Free Gingival Graft (FGG) This procedure is useful for eliminating aberrant frenum pulls, halting the progress of gingival recessions, preventing recession around esthetic restorations and increasing attached gingiva. Subepithelial Connective Tissue Graft (CTG) This procedure combines the most positive features of the free gingival graft and the pedical graft, namely good tissue keratinization and additional blood supply for higher predictability. Learn how to choose where and when to use a CTG and how they are effective for root coverage in cases of severe recession on isolated or multiple teeth, especially in the maxilla where esthetic root coverage is often desirable. In addition, you will also learn to use tissue bank dermis as an alternative to autogenous tissue in soft tissue grafting procedures. Simple and straight forward program. All the info you need to know presented in one day! Dr. Paul Mikhli - Beachwood, OH
Indications for FGG or CTG or Tissue Bank Dermis would include: Multiple teeth with root exposure Progressive recession Esthetics concerns Multiple teeth with root exposure in combination with minimal attached gingiva Isolated wide recession defects not usually amenable to free gingival grafting especially in the maxilla Advantages to using a CTG are: Increased graft vascularity One-step procedure Minimal palatal (donor site) trauma Good esthetics due to better color match and predictable root coverage Never one to disappoint, Dr. Garg and Dr. Ayangco presented a straight forward, step by step lecture on what was preciously thought to be a difficult procedure. Dr. Seth Shapiro - Delray Beach, FL
