Learn practical techniques for placing two different soft tissue grafts. See how gingival grafts are placed to stop or prevent recession and how connective tissue grafts are used to cover exposed roots. Both grafts are discussed and practiced. After step-by-step techniques are shown, participants will practice the two grafts, including stable suturing methods, on pig jaws. Two surgical videos will be shown to illustrate the technique before the exercise.
Learning Objectives:
Learn how to prepare recipient sites and obtain donor tissue for each graft.
Learn specific suturing techniques for stable grafts and predictable results.
Learn the use of specialized instruments.
Understand medications and postoperative considerations.
