Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Soft tissue surgery includes a two-stage approach with primary surgery (phase I) for securing and stabilization of periodontal and periimplant soft tissues, and secondary surgery (phase II, optional) with appropriate tools to reconstructing the defect site. Clinical outcomes of phase II therapy are frequently overestimated. This chapter applies the basic rules of reconstructive surgery to periodontal and implant dentistry.
