Topic: Solving Grafting Problems in the Anterior Mandible with the Tunnel Technique
Although the tunnel technique is commonly used to treat recession in the maxillary arch, it is underutilized in the anterior mandible due to concerns regarding aberrant frenum involvement, vestibular depth, deep recession, and thin mucosa. This lecture will examine these concerns and illustrate technical modifications to overcome these limitations.

Topic: The autogenous connective tissue graft from the hard palate: donor sites, harvesting techniques and their clinical consequences.
Over the last 40 years, the autogenous connective tissue graft from the hard palate has been the gold standard for esthetic soft tissue volume augmentation in the oral cavity. The aim of this presentation will be to discuss the clinical consequences of using connective tissue grafts with different tissue compositions from different donor regions of the palate, and shed light on their possible impact on treatment outcomes.
