The DTR Technique-Drilling through the Roots of Posterior Teeth for Anatomically Guided Immediate Implant Placement: A Cohort Study.

Aim: The present study clinically analyzes implant survival of immediate implant placement cases using the drilling through roots (DTR) technique for anatomically-guided implant site preparation, as an aid to placing immediate dental implants in multi-radicular teeth.

Materials And Methods: This clinical analysis utilized patients' electronic dental records who underwent immediate implant surgery using the DTR technique. All immediately placed implants were followed up regularly every year, after restoration.

Gum Drop Technique: Minimally Invasive Soft-Tissue Platelet-Rich Plasma Grafting for Marginal Soft-Tissue Recession.

Minimally invasive techniques for treatment of marginal soft-tissue recession, or root recession, are conducive to lower morbidity and less postoperative discomfort than techniques that employ surgical flaps. The gum drop technique (GDT) is a novel soft-tissue grafting procedure that combines minimally invasive incisions with blood derivatives from the patient to achieve root coverage. Demonstrating favorable healing without the need for a donor site to provide connective tissue, this papilla-preserving approach offers the benefits of an autogenous, biologically enhanced procedure.
