Soft Tissue Flap Techniques for Gingival Recession Treatment: LAST, Coronally Advanced, Tunnel, Envelope and Replaced Flaps

Soft Tissue Flap Techniques for Gingival Recession Treatment: LAST, Coronally Advanced, Tunnel, Envelope and Replaced Flaps

Category: Periodontology

Instructor(s): Nelson Carranza

Course structure: Lessons: 4 lessons | Duration: 3 h 50 min

Course overview

Successful root coverage requires more than choosing a flap technique. Predictable results depend on understanding soft tissue anatomy, selecting the appropriate flap design, achieving adequate flap mobility, and precisely managing the connective tissue graft.

This comprehensive course presents a structured surgical approach to the treatment of gingival recessions, covering Laterally Stretched Flaps (LAST), non-displaced flap techniques, Coronally Advanced Flaps (CAF), and connective tissue graft harvesting.
