The horizontal and vertical soft tissue dimension around an implant-supported restoration in the maxillary anterior is one of the determining factors for achieving an esthetic result. In this case report, the patient presented with a deficiency in both dimensions around a single-tooth implanted-supported restoration in the anterior maxilla. The soft tissue defects were augmented with a connective tissue graft that was placed underneath the buccal peri-implant tissue using a frenum access incision and a supraperiosteal tunneling approach (modified vestibular Incision supraperiosteal tunnel access [VISTA] technique). This novel technique resulted in an increase in tissue height and width, which suggests its potential use around implant-supported restorations.

Tissue Defects

The treatment of extensive soft tissue defects in the thumb with dorsal metacarpal artery flaps has been previously reported in the literature. Island flaps from the dorsum of the index and long fingers have been the subject of many reports and studies. However, when the defect involves the whole thumb, a 360° circumferential defect, standard first or second dorsal metacarpal artery flaps are usually insufficient. There are fewer reports on the use of bilobed flaps for this application and we have found no reports on the use of bilobed racquet flaps or extended seagull flaps as treatment for this condition. We report the salvage of a thumb degloving injury with use of a bilobed racquet flap.

Abstract Esthetic requirements for dental implant restoration have arisen in recent years. Despite several surgical techniques that have been developed, the treatment of the peri-implant soft-tissue defect is still difficult. The purpose of this clinical article is to describe a grafting technique using subepithelial connective tissue grafts to recontour soft-tissue margin discrepancy for single-tooth implant restorations in the anterior maxilla. After 2-year follow-up, this procedure shows that the use of connective tissue grafts can be a predictable approach to establish new and stable peri-implant soft-tissue margin.

Tissue Graft

The application of free connective tissue graft (CTG) is the gold standard in the treatment of gingival recession in the area of teeth and implants. The aim of this case report is to demonstrate a possible mucosal overgrowth complication in the soft tissue grafting area. A 24-year-old patient underwent the treatment of gingival recession in the tooth 2.3 region by an envelope technique using a free CTG from the hard palate region. Seven years after the surgery, a mucosal overgrowth was observed, which developed asymptomatically and did not cause any problems to the patient.

Background: Soft tissue defects about the elbow with concurrent ligamentous instability can be challenging to treat. Methods: We present a case report of a lateral elbow wound that resulted in lateral ulnar collateral ligament deficiency and posterolateral elbow instability. Results: We describe our technique of a modified brachioradialis rotational flap, in which the muscle is rotated to cover the soft tissue defect, while the vascularized brachioradialis tendon is used to simultaneously reconstruct the lateral ulnar collateral ligament. This procedure successfully restored posterolateral elbow stability at the time of wound coverage. Conclusion: Elbow soft tissue defects with associated ligamentous injuries can be treated using a modification of the brachioradialis rotational flap.
