Root Coverage: A Comparison of Techniques

Rapid changes in the field of periodontics gives us the ability to regenerate lost gingival tissue while halting disease activity without loss of esthetics.

Two soft tissue grafting techniques for root coverage are shown: the free gingival graft and the subepithelial connective tissue graft. Indications and the precise techniques for both grafts are shown. The viewer should be able to perform these techniques with an appreciation for predictable regeneration of soft tissue for health and esthetics.
