D) when the margin of the flap reached passively 1mm coronal to CEJ of
the affected tooth > the coronal mobilization is considered adequate.
# de-epithelialization of the anatomical papillae to provide the adequate
connective tissue bed ( blood supply ) for the future soft tissue margin
( surgical papillae ).
F) Suturing:
1. Start with simple interrupted sutures from the most apical
extension of the vertical incisions and proceed coronally > suture
from the flap margin to the adjacent buccal soft tissue ( in apico-
coronal direction).
2. Sling suture of the flap margin for more stability of the surgical
papillae on the CT bed and precise adaptation of the flap margin
over the convexity of the crown.
5. clinical parameters after 1year:
Periosteum retention( split-full-split) / test group provides superior
clinical results in terms of complete root coverage ( CRC ) and root
coverage ( RC ) as well as reduction of hypersensitivity and post-
surgical discomfort.
Frequency to obtain CRC in test group was twice as high as in
control group ( completely split)
Significant association between CRC and the thickness of the flap
resulted after elevation.
8. Conclusions:
