Subperiosteal Tissue Tacking as a Novel Approach to Recreate the Lost Hard and Soft Tissue Framework: Case Series and
Abstract:
As stability is a key determinant of successful regeneration, this paper introduces tack engagement as a novel alternative to conventional suturing techniques, aimed at improving the positioning and fixation of autogenous tissue grafts. Rigid tack engagement, a widely used technique in guided bone regeneration protocols for securing membranes, offers a stable and time-efficient solution that mitigates the risks of early graft displacement resulting from suturing or delayed volume changes due to physiologic healing processes or unintentional patient oral habits. Subperiosteal tissue tacking represents a promising alternative technique for managing small to moderate tissue defects, mitigating various biologic and practical obstacles. Within the limitations of this report, tacks provide a variety of practical benefits for tissue fixation, rendering them particularly useful in staged implant placement procedures. Further research is necessary to comprehensively assess the benefits and potential constraints of this innovative approach.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
01:22Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
