Gingival flap-split thickness flap, a combined procedure. Clinical study in humans and dogs.

1. The combined procedure can be performed to handle the two very common periodontal problems (bone defect, high frenum, and/or high muscle insertion) when present in the same area. 2. Healing was uneventful, since only four postoperatory complications were observed in 40 surgeries performed, and none of these complications was in humans. 3. Macroscopically, the surgical area showed normalcy 1 week after the procedure. 4. It is a procedure very easy to perform and shows uneventful postoperative healing. There is no patient discomfort.

Split thickness flap, apically replaced, with protected linear periosteal fenestration.

The split thickness flap, apically replaced, with internal linear periosteal fenestration, is a combination of two known techniques. This procedure is another choice to solve mucogingival problems. The advantages in addition to securing a firmer bond of periosteum to bone and mucosa to periosteum at the selected position are: there is no bone exposed, healing is apparently faster and postoperative pain is minimal. An experimental work, carried out on dogs to study the histological reactions after this procedure, is in progress. The results of these observations will be reported in a future publication.
