Course Description
The pedicle connective tissue graft (PCTG) has its own blood supply maintained, therefore, allowing graft survival on the poorly vascularized and nonvascularized recipient site. A palatal pedicle connective tissue graft is an essential element of mIVAN technique (modified Interpositional Vascularized Augmentation Neogenesis).
Educational Objectives
- Participants will learn principles of two novel, published, surgical techniques based on the utilization of pedicle flaps.
- Procedures are going to be shown step by step and experienced clinicians will be able to apply them after this lecture.
