Soft-Tissue Volume Augmentation Using a Connective-Tissue Graft Harvested from the Maxillary Tuberosity

Daniel Etienne

In 1983, a 51-year-old non-smoking patient was referred for the treatment of moderate chronic periodontitis. At the initial examination, 47% of sites exhibited probing depths of 4 to 6 mm. Periodontal therapy consisted of initial periodontal treatment including oral-hygiene instructions and supra- and subgingival debridement, followed by periodontal surgery to eliminate residual pockets.

  • * General SAC assessment modifiers that are also part of the ERA. To avoid redundancy they are listed in this section even if no complete ERA has been made.

  • ** Not applicable to the ERA of immediate placement cases and replaced by "Socket Integrity" listed below under "Surgical SAC Classification". For all other placement types this value is a classification determinant and listed here even if no complete ERA has been made.
