The lateral repositioned flap seems to be a forgotten technique to cover recessions. The advantage of this approach is the possibility of recession coverage without additional connective tissue grafts from the palate and associated reduced pain for our patients. Have fun watching the video!
The technique of the coronally advanced flap is well published and described. With the original Zuchelli method, the papillae are elevated and repositioned. The advantage of the modified procedure is the possibility of recession coverage without any cut in the papillae and only minimal disruption of the blood…
Whenever and wherever we expect periodontics to regenerate, we should know about the conditions which allow and promote periodontal regeneration. Prof. Dr. Ian Needleman, London/Great Britain, gives an introduction to all about periodontal regeneration.
Professor Dr. Wachtel, Munich/Germany, demonstrates the gingiva thickening and coverage of gingival recession defects in the lower anterior region using the modified tunnel technique.
The molars 46 and 47 are to be restored. For there are carious defect of the hard tissue Professor Dr. Hannes Wachtel, Munich/Germany does a preprosthetic treatment. In the vestibular and lingual area of the posterior region of the forth quadrant as well as in the region distal of the terminal tooth the…
The objective of this surgery done by Dr. Marc Hinze, Gräfelfing/Germany, is to cover multiple gingival recessions in the maxilla with a coronally advanced flap applying the ‘Zucchelli approach’. With the ‘Zucchelli approach’, the recession coverage is made possible due the rotational move of newly created…
Prof. Dr. Wachtel, Munich/Germany, demonstrates the regenerative periodontal therapy of an extended periodontal defect of a lower front tooth. He shows the necessary steps in this surgery and explains the key factors of success in this cases.
Dr. Otto Zuhr, Munich/Germany, demonstrates the coverage of gingival recession defects in the anterior maxillary area using the modified tunnel technique. Dr. Zuhr provides a detailed, step-by-step demonstration of the procedure and offers useful tips for the practitioner.
The current classification system for periodontal diseases shows dramatic gap in clinical application. Dr. Moritz Kebschull, University Bonn/Germany, does intensive research on the genetic differentiability between chronic and aggressive periodontitis. He introduces his latest findings and gives a future…
Dr. Jan Behring, Hamburg/Germany, shows the various techniques used in surgical crown lengthening on a porc jaw. He demonstrates possible alternatives, too, and discusses the particular importance of biologic width in surgical crown lengthening.
