Surgical techniques for an optimal use of collagen matrices as connective tissue graft substitutes
Programa de lecciones
Aim of this webinar is to show when and how the use of collagen xenograft is an effective alternative treatment for gingival recessions where a connective tissue graft is conventionally indicated.
Soft tissue harvesting from the palate is still a procedure with a certain morbidity. Modern collagen matrices can perform very well in root coverage under strict criteria with no risk of adverse effects. The lecture will show limits and possibilities of the use of such biomaterials as soft tissue graft substitutes, describing the best surgical procedures to achieve optimal results.
Program:
- Collagen xenografts: biological principles and handling characteristics
- Indications and contraindications for the use of collagen matrices as soft tissue graft substitutes
- Surgical techniques for an optimal use of collagen matrices in the treatment of gingival recessions/carious and non carious cervical lesions
