Summary
A novel V-reverse suturing technique enhances graft and flap stabilization in tunnel procedures (TUN) for dental applications. This method reduces micromotion, ensuring better outcomes in root coverage and implant placement.
Area of Science:
- Periodontal plastic surgery
- Implant dentistry
- Surgical techniques
Background:
- Graft and flap stabilization are critical for successful periodontal and peri-implant plastic surgery outcomes.
- While coronally advanced flaps offer established suturing options, evidence for stabilizing grafts in tunnel techniques (TUN) is limited.
