What it covers
In this presentation, Prof. Zucchelli illustrates the treatment of a papilla that has lost height but still has a good amount of keratinized tissue, showing the use of a Tunnel instrument to lift the papilla to a full thickness and achieve dual lateral access to work underneath the papilla.
The goal of this technique is to create a tunnel from the groove of one tooth to the groove of the adjacent tooth, maintaining absolute integrity.
In particular, this lecture covers the following topics:
- How to create the Tunnel
- How to mobilize the apex of the papilla coronally
- Root planing phase
- Connective tissue graft insertion into the tunnel
- Vestibule stabilization and final positioning of the papilla
