Mucogingival and Periodontal Plastic Surgery: Lateral Sliding Flaps

Root exposure as a result of gingival recession is known to affect more than half of the adult population over 30 years of age. Gingival recession may be associated with tooth sensitivity and unacceptable esthetics as well as a higher risk of root caries.

Like many aspects of health care, technological innovations in materials science, as well as development of new tools and techniques, drive advances in periodontal therapy. In this volume, I have attempted to provide the reader with a compilation of advanced knowledge of surgical periodontal therapy. In some respects, significant advancements are evident, such as the development of novel tools and surgical techniques for treatment of periodontal and mucogingival defects or as noted by advances in the use of laser energy to treat periodontal and peri-implant diseases. Conversely, other techniques, such as periodontal resective surgery, have changed very little over time. Here, I have compiled works from gifted clinicians specifically geared toward surgical treatment for the periodontal patient. This volume is divided into five parts, each of which addresses a specific topic. Part I, Key Considerations of Periodontal Surgery, discusses patient-driven factors and practical ways both clinicians and patients can incorporate qualitative and quantitative patient information to monitor and self-motivate patients to help improve periodontal outcomes. This is followed by a decision tree-style discussion of resective versus regenerativ
