Abstract
ESCUDERO-CASTANO, N.; LORENZO-VIGNAU, R.; PEREA-GARCIA, M.A. and BASCONES-MARTINEZ, A.. Connective tissue autograft for ridge augmentation: Indications and clinical application. Avances en Periodoncia [online]. 2008, vol.20, n.2, pp.112-120. ISSN 2340-3209.
In general, the edentulous area prevents a correct relationship between pontic-ridge, and it unleashes an aesthetic absence in the anterior front cases. To achieve this kind of defects we could use different kinds of techniques to modify a type III Seibert defect (1) through a connective tissue graft and an ovate pontic.
Keywords : Seibert´s Classiffication; connective tissue graft; Cantilever.
