Download brochure in PDF
Initial situation:
After endo treatment and replacement of the coronal part of teeth with casted post, the root has changed colour and became visible through thin mucosa.
Treatment planning:
For concealing effect it was decided to add thickness of the mucous membrane. Instead of taking a tissue graft from the patient, Zenoss Matrix was used.
