Webinar - The Bernese Concept for the Treatment of Single and Multiple Mandibular Recessions
Abstract
Predictable coverage of isolated and multiple mandibular gingival recessions is one of the most challenging endeavours in plastic-aesthetic periodontal surgery while the available data from the literature is still limited. In most of the described procedures, a split flap approach was adopted for preparing the flap, envelope, or tunnel. Due to various anatomical reasons such as strong pull of muscles and frenula, shallow vestibulum, lack of vestibular/labial or oral bone plate, associated with extremely thin, soft tissues, a split flap is often difficult to prepare and perform and bears the risk of flap perforation and/or graft necrosis during the healing phase. In order to reduce these potential complications, various modifications of the tunnel procedure, i.e., the Modified Coronally Advanced Tunnel (MCAT), the Laterally Closed Tunnel (LCT) or their combination (LCT+MCAT) have been introduced.
Outcomes
To understand the clinical indications for the treatment of single and multiple adjacent mandibular gingival recessions.
To understand the anatomical considerations which influence the results.
To provide the biologic rationale, the step-by-step procedure and the results obtained with MCAT, LCT and LCT+MCAT in various clinical scenarios associated with single and multiple mandibular gingival recessions.
