Clin Case Rep. 2016 Jul 23;4(8):831-7. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.582. eCollection 2016 Aug.

Abstract

The technique relies on a combination of horizontal and vertical mattress that are anchored at the splinted incisal contact points.

Keywords: connective tissue graft; micro‐surgery; mini‐invasive surgery; periodontal plastic surgery; suture technique; tunnel.
