Title: Successful Soft Tissue Grafting with the Tunnel Technique in the Mandibular Anterior 

 

Presenter: Dr. Edward Allen


Abstract:
Use of the coronally positioned tunnel technique has been described for treatment of recession using both palatal connective tissue and alternatives to autogenous tissue. Although the tunnel technique is commonly used to treat recession in the maxillary arch, it is underutilized in the mandibular arch due to concerns about keratinized tissue width, aberrant frenal pull, vestibular depth, deep recession, and thin mucosa. This lecture will examine these concerns and illustrate technical modifications to overcome these limitations. 

Learning Objectives: 

1.Describe the essential steps for routine tunnel site preparation
2.Describe technique modifications to facilitate treatment of shallow recession sites in the mandibular anterior
3.Describe technique modifications to facilitate treatment of deep recession sites in the mandibular anterior
