Pre-operative view of recession defects that ranges from 2-5 mm. There is minimal keratinized tissue on #14. Pocket depths are within limits with no loss of interproximal tissue.

A 15c blade is used to make sulcular incisions with scooping incisions at the level of the CEJ. A combination flap consisting of full-thickness coronally followed by a partial-thickness dissection apically is reflected.

The papillary tissue is de-epithelialized with a football diamond bur on a rotary hand piece. This exposes a vascular bed for the graft and intended coronal positioning of the flap.

Side-view of the recession defects. It is clearly visible how deep the recession defects are.

Geistlich Mucograft® is trimmed and positioned to extend beyond the root surfaces. A combination of simple interrupted sutures at its coronal edge and mattress sutures extending over the entire graft are used to adapt the graft to the recipient site.

The flap is then advanced and coronally positioned with horizontal mattress sutures to release tension and simple interrupted sutures to approximate the flap edges to the de-epithelialized papillas.

Follow-up after 1 week: note that the flap margins appear stable. Erythema and edema evident with maturation of the tissue beginning.

Follow-up after 3 months: maturation of the tissue evident with complete root coverage. An increase in the zone of keratinized tissue by #14 is also visible.

Follow-up after 1 year: stability of the graft is evident, complete coverage and a healthy and maintainable gingival situation have been achieved.

1 - Baseline frontal view: missing central incisor.

2 - Baseline occlusal view: The facial contour is flattened by physiological dimensional ridge alterations post-extraction.

3 - Full-thickness flap using one releasing incision in the distal aspect of the canine. Simultaneous contour augmentation using GBR was performed with autogenous bone chips to cover the exposed implant combined with a layer of Geistlich Bio-Oss®and Geistlich Bio-Gide®.

4 - Application of Geistlich Fibro-Gide® on top of the augmented area. A tension-free primary wound closure was obtained by a periosteal releasing incision.

5 - Suture removal 14 days post-surgery. Uneventful wound healing and an increase in soft-tissue volume.

6 - Frontal view 4 weeks post-surgery.

7 - 2 months follow-up combined with abutment connection.

8 - Occlusal view of final restoration 2 years post-surgery.

9 - Final restoration 2 years post-surgery shows pleasing esthetics.

Implant placement planned for site #3 and #5 with soft-tissue treatment utilizing a CTG and for sites #10, #12 and #13 with soft-tissue augmentation using Geistlich Fibro-Gide®

2 - Uncovering of site #10 shows a narrow ridge width and an insufficient amount of soft-tissue thickness.

3 - Tooth #10 was extracted and immediately replaced by an implant.

4 - Fill the gap procedure with Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® to achieve contour augmentation and preserve horizontal ridge dimensions.

5 - Geistlich Fibro-Gide® was trimmed to half of the thickness to fit the defect and placed into sites #10, 11, 12 and 13.

6 - The entire site was closed tension-free to facilitate uneventful wound healing.

7 - The 3 month follow-up shows uneventful soft-tissue healing and an increase of soft-tissue thickness at the desired sites.

8 - The 6 month follow-up with the final reconstruction shows that the soft-tissue thickness at the desired site is maintained over time. This contributes to an esthetic and pleasing outcome. (Restorative work by Dr. Chao-Chieh Yang, IUSD)

9 - The 2 month follow-up showing a comparison of the treated sites, one with CTG (left) and one with Geistlich Fibro-Gide® (right) in the same patient. Comparable results have been achieved with both treatments, but without the need for a donor site.

Initial Situation: a failing mandibular molar with a vertical sub-osseous fracture.

A pre-operative radiograph and CBCT showing the cross-section of the involved tooth.

An implant site was developed by placing a pilot drill down the mesial root space, then uprighting it. This was continued up through the drill sequence. The mesial radicular septum is moved in the process.

A Camlog® 5.0 x 11 mm implant was placed with the platform set just down below the bone height of the socket walls.

After placing a 4.0 mm height cylindrical gingiva former in the implant, 250 mg of Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® was packed down in the socket around the implant.

Geistlich Mucograft® was adapted to the region then tucked down under the gingival margin.

The gingival margins were adapted and closed together with 4.0 teflon sutures (Cytoplast™, Osteogenics). The region was then covered with Glustich - PeriAcryl®90 Oral Tissue Adhesive.

4 months later following Emergence Profile Development.

An occlusal view of the final one-piece, screw-retained zirconia crown restoration based on a Camlog® Titanium Base Abutment.

1 - Initial Clinical Situation, Occlusal/Buccal Shots of Missing teeth #12 and 13.

2 - Intra-Operative, Implant Placement of #12 and 13.

3 - Intra-Operative, Placement of Geistlich Fibro-Gide® in the Buccal Concavity of #12 and 13.

4 - Immediate Post-Operative Buccal Soft Tissue Thickness.

5 - Two Months Post-Operative Healing with Provisional Restorations.

1 - Pre-operative situation, tooth #7 with periapical infection and horizontal fracture.

2 - CT Scan showing tooth #7 with significant bone loss.

3 - Occlusal view of the clinical situation prior to extraction of tooth #7.

4 - Extraction socket with Geistlich Bio-Oss Collagen® in place.

5 - Geistlich Mucograft® Seal is placed over the extraction socket and secured with single interrupted sutures.

6 - 3 months post-operative: soft tissue healing at the time of implant placement.

7 - Buccal view showing excellent soft tissue healing and keratinized tissue.

8 - 5 months post-operative.

9 - 2 years post-operative: final restoration in place.

1 - Baseline buccal view: soft-tissue concavity at the dental implant site.

2 - Baseline occlusal view: volume deficiency on the buccal aspect.

3 - Adapting and trimming of Geistlich Fibro-Gide® to the defect size. Additional bevel cut performed for the area to be positioned close to the incision line.

4 - Position and fixation of Geistlich Fibro-Gide® to the buccal flap with horizontal mattress suture.

5 - Primary closure obtained by horizontal mattress and single interrupted sutures.

6 - 4 months follow-up: showing the healed soft-tissue after augmentation surgery.

7 - 4 months follow-up: provisional restoration. Notice volume recovery.

8 - Occlusal view before final restoration.

9 - 9 months follow-up: final restoration after soft-tissue augmentation surgery.

1 - Baseline frontal view: missing central incisor. Implant visible through mucosa due to thin biotype.

2 - Baseline occlusal view: soft-tissue deficit in the buccal and occlusal area.

3 - Flap elevation on the buccal side using a full flap crestally and a split flap buccally.

4 - Adaption of Geistlich Fibro-Gide® to the defect size.

5 - Palatal island flap prepared to allow for tension-free wound closure. Geistlich Fibro-Gide® in situ, immobilized with a mattress suture.
