1) Pouch and  tunnel technique in conjunction with connective tissue Graft -a paramount for treating gingival recession

Gingival recession can be a bothersome and unappealing issue for patients. Thankfully, there’s an esthetic correction option available that’s both minimally invasive and promotes fast healing: the Pouch and Tunnel technique with connective tissue grafting (CTG). This approach is an excellent alternative for patients seeking effective recession coverage, and it’s worth considering if they are looking for a solution that’s both friendly to gums and their wallet.

2) The natural tooth pontic and instant idea to retain aesthetics

In cases where a patient experiences sudden tooth loss in the anterior region of their mouth, it can be distressing and affect their confidence. The good news is that there are a range of treatment options available, including removable, tooth-supported, and implant-supported prosthetics.

Regardless of the chosen treatment, it’s important to restore the patient’s smile as quickly as possible while also stabilizing their dental arch. One technique involves using the patient’s own natural tooth as a pontic, which provides an exact match in terms of size, shape, and color, while also preserving the original 3D position of the tooth.

3) Modified roll technique- handy technique to augment the periimplant soft tissue in aesthetic zone

In this randomized controlled trial, researchers are exploring the effectiveness of a modified roll flap (MRF) technique to enhance the appearance of single-tooth implants in the esthetic zone. The MRF is a pedicle flap that utilizes the gingival tissue overlying the covering screw to thicken the labial soft tissue, which can have a significant impact on the overall esthetic outcome.

The study aims to measure the thickness of the labial soft tissue and the implant esthetic score system (IES) to evaluate the success of the MRF technique during stage-two implant surgery. By preserving and utilizing the existing tissue instead of discarding it, the MRF technique could potentially enhance the appearance of the implant site and improve patient satisfaction with the results.
