How Tunnel Technique + CTG is performed
This procedure often uses autologous connective tissue or evaluated alternative materials. Typically, under local anesthesia, a continuous "tunnel" is prepared under the gingiva using minimally invasive instruments. Without separating the papilla, connective tissue is inserted, positioned, and fixed. The soft tissue is then coronally advanced to cover the root surface and microsutured. Postoperative attention is paid to bleeding, swelling, and tissue perfusion. The goal is to improve coverage and maintain papilla morphology. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
