Tunneling: A Comprehensive Concept in Periodontal Plastic Surgery

The tunnel technique remains one of the less travelled routes in periodontal plastic surgery, and this monograph sets out to make it a reproducible procedure. Vincent Ronco breaks down the surgical approach by segment, the close reading of the crown-root transition zone, the handling of the connective tissue graft and the suspensory sutures that hold the flap in position during healing. The account proceeds through decision trees and case series showing how the technique behaves in clinical situations of increasing complexity. Of interest to periodontists and surgeons seeking aesthetic root coverage with the least possible insult to the tissues.
