Tunnel Technique: Advanced Gum Recession Treatment | Dental Park
Tunnel Technique at Dental Park
The Tunnel Technique is an advanced, minimally invasive surgical approach for treating gingival recession. At Dental Park, we offer this state-of-the-art procedure to help patients achieve healthier gums and improved smiles.
What is the Tunnel Technique?
The Tunnel Technique is a sophisticated periodontal procedure designed specifically for treating wide multiple recessions, particularly in the maxilla where root coverage can be challenging. This method involves creating a tunnel-like space beneath the gum tissue without making vertical incisions, allowing for the placement of a connective tissue graft to cover exposed tooth roots.
Procedure Details
The Tunnel Technique procedure at Dental Park involves several steps:
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort.
- Tunnel Creation: Using specialized instruments, our periodontist creates a tunnel beneath the gum tissue without detaching the gum completely.
- Graft Preparation: A connective tissue graft is harvested, typically from the palate.
- Graft Placement: The graft is carefully inserted through the tunnel and positioned over the exposed root surfaces.
- Suturing: The graft is secured in place with sutures, and the gum tissue is repositioned to cover the graft.
Benefits of the Tunnel Technique
The Tunnel Technique offers several advantages over traditional gum grafting methods:
- Minimally Invasive: Preserves the intermediate papilla and requires fewer incisions.
- Faster Healing: Accelerates initial wound healing due to less tissue manipulation.
- Excellent Aesthetics: Produces highly esthetic results, ideal for visible areas of the mouth.
- Increased Gum Thickness: Enhances the thickness of keratinized gingiva.
- Predictable Results: Offers a high success rate for root coverage in suitable cases.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from the Tunnel Technique is typically quicker and more comfortable than traditional gum grafting procedures. Patients can expect:
- Minimal discomfort managed with over-the-counter pain relievers
- A soft diet for the first few days post-procedure
- Careful oral hygiene practices as instructed by our team
- Follow-up appointments to monitor healing and remove sutures if necessary
