Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to do the following:

  1. Discuss the advantages of pedicle procedures versus free soft tissue grafts.
  2. Discuss the detrimental effects of exposing a regenerative site to the oral environment.
  3. List several combination techniques employed today as regenerative procedures.
  4. List some of the soft-tissue conditions that are adverse to continuous coverage of the regenerative site.

Abstract:

Regenerating a periodontium that has been lost because of disease has been made possible by the use of demineralized freeze-dried bone allografts (DFDBA), guided tissue regeneration with e-PTFE membranes, and combination therapies involving DFDBA covered by either an e-PTFE membrane or calcium sulfate. During regenerative therapy, problems may arise because of an adverse mucogingival condition, loss of a papilla, or significant exposure of the membrane from soft-tissue recession, slough, or fenestration leading to direct exposure of the site to the oral environment. Pedicle procedures can be used to cover these regenerative sites while providing mucogingival repair.
