Found 130 Results

1 - This case shows a shallow vestibule and almost no keratinized tissue on the lower crestal part. The horizontal incision has to be made within the keratinized tissue (see depicted line).

2 - Ensure the incision is within the keratinized tissue: an apically fixed split flap is used here. Remove the muscles, scar fibers and ligaments before application of Geistlich Mucograft®.

3 - Measure the defect carefully with a periodontal probe and cut Geistlich Mucograft® in a dry state. In the case of a large vestibuloplasty, several pieces of Geistlich Mucograft® can be sutured side by side.

4 - Geistlich Mucograft® is sutured directly onto the periosteum with 5.0 resorbable sutures and left exposed for open healing (healed by secondary intention).

5 - 10 days post-operative: favorable healing where granulation tissue and new soft tissues have formed.

6 - 1 month post-operative: excellent wound healing with complete integration and epithelialization of Geistlich Mucograft® as well as keratinization of the crestal aspect could be observed.

7 - 3 months post-operative: excellent esthetic outcome with full integration and epithelialization of Geistlich Mucograft® to the surrounding tissue and keratinization of the crestal aspect.

8 - 1 year post-operative: the formed keratinized tissue fulfills its functionality and shows an esthetically pleasing result matching the structure and color of the surrounding tissues. The mean width of the peri-implant keratinized mucosa was 4.0 mm, and a low shrinkage was assessed at 38%.

9 - 5 years post-operative: the mucogingival appearance remains stable. The resulting keratinized tissue fulfills its functionality and shows an esthetically pleasing result.

1 - Gingival recessions #23 and #22

3 - 10 week post op healing. Root coverage achieved. Patient reports no problems and is pleased with the results. More follow ups to come.

2 - Sites at the day of the procedure after sutures placed. Tunnel between #23,24 and partial thickness flap raised between #23,22.

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.

Initial clinical and radiographic presentation showing vertical bone loss #9-10 area

Initial CBCT presentation showing bone loss between #9-10 wrapping palatally

Occlusal clinical views showing sulcular incision with paracrestal incision #9-10

Facial and occlusal clinical views showing full thickness flap reflection with wide 1-2 bony wall defect measuring ~7mm vertical bone loss

Facial clinical views showing full thickness flap reflection and GTR procedure using Geistlich vallomix™ bone graft (allograft as an internal first layer and xenograft as an outside second layer) and collagen membrane

Facial and occlusal clinical views showing primary closure using 6-0 prolene sutures with immediate post-surgical bone addition

1 - 3D reconstruction from CBCT images showing horizontal maxillary atrophy at the two-teeth gap.

2 - Intraoperative view of the atrophied anterior maxillary site. Tenting screws are placed to support the collagen membrane.

3 - Application of a mixture (1:1) of autologous bone chips from the retromolar area and Geistlich Bio-Oss®.

8 - Final prosthetic restoration.

Baseline: compromised soft-tissue architecture at site #9 due to ill-fitting Nesbit appliance.
