Tunneling: A Comprehensive Concept in Periodontal Plastic Surgery (Scanned Copy)

Overview

Among the many modalities developed to treat periodontal recessions, tunneling can be an overlooked approach that is minimally invasive and offers highly predictable and esthetic results. The author of this impressive monograph is educationally focused, basing the success of tunneling protocols on a deep understanding of the segmented surgical approach, a strict analysis of the crown-root transition zone, the use of novel belt and suspender sutures, and revised management of connective tissue grafts.

Chapters are structured to help readers learn what they need to know to begin practicing this technique. Impressive case presentations showcase the versatility of the approach and demonstrate the variety of complex clinical situations it can address. This book will become the standard for learning tunneling protocols due to the meticulous presentation of material and the simple, rational decision trees that guide clinicians in establishing a clinical pathway where nothing is left to chance.
