What do you think in terms of the predictability of grafting these type of the root recession whenever there's an interdental attachment or tissue loss?

Well, first of all, I think the key point on this is how severe is your class three recession? In other words, if you have a 5 or 6 millimeter defect, you're not going to have a lot of success on that.

However, if you've got like 2 millimeters, and certainly some of the techniques performed by Pat Allen and Alloderm, where you undermines the papilla and can elevate the interdental tissue a millimeter or two, that he can get a higher level of root coverage.

So I would say the most important thing is the severity and then the technique in elevating the tissue.

Now, I also would go back to when I first started.

When I first started practicing dentistry, the only suture material that I used was 3-0 silk.

And certainly using silk and having to remove that and so forth.

So this is something that we reinforce with our patients through the initial visit as well as all the way through every periodontal maintenance visit after that.
