Qi Liu / Haidong Zhang / Jingwen Yang / Xia Yan / Chao Suo

This well-illustrated atlas focuses on advanced surgical techniques for restoring soft tissue defects around natural teeth caused by varying degrees of gingival recession. Following a discussion of the biologic basis and rationale for increasing soft tissue volume, the authors review the development and mechanisms of root coverage. They provide step-by-step instructions for the prevailing techniques of root coverage therapy for a successful pink esthetic treatment outcome. Clinical cases demonstrate the techniques, outlining evidence-based principles and clinical considerations in a clear and easy-to-follow manner. For those who want to learn to predictably treat gingival recession, this book is an excellent aid.
