Before preparation of the split flap, the exposed root is polished and scaled with a curette.
A split-thickness flap with a distal releasing incision is raised. Geistlich Mucograft® is placed dry and fixed with a single U-suture.
The distal area of the papilla is de-epithelialised and the flap is rotated. The flap is sutured with a 7.0 monofilament suture.
Post-operative result after 9 months with excellent colour and texture match and even less signs of scar-formation.
